Today is the final day of Makeup Savvy’s 15 Day Nail
Challenge! I can’t quite believe how quickly it has gone. I have thoroughly
enjoyed myself and it has been great to try out new things and see everyone else’s
wonderful designs. A huge thank you to Fee for hosting this challenge!
Today, as the theme is anything I wanted to try something
that I haven’t done before; the cling film manicure otherwise known as the
saran wrap manicure! The method consists of scrunching up a bit of cling film,
dipping it in polish then dabbing onto the nail. It is simple and the effect it
gives is beautiful.
Sadly, my nails for today are a total fail. I used Barry M
Silver Foil for my base colour then dabbed various duochrome colours onto the
nail (W7 – Metallic Neptune, Essence – Where is the Party?, Catrice – Genius in
the Bottle, Collection 2000 – Hello Sailor!). However, the result is more of a
blurry mess than beautiful duochrome over silver…
I think this may be because either I used too many colours
or that I didn’t dab enough polish off the cling film before going onto the
nail. Anyway, in a desperate attempt to rescue my nails I added a coat on
Andrea Fulerton Gemstone Overcoat which you can see here:
I think that added a little more colour back to it but I was
still not happy so I added a coat of matte topcoat. Really I should have
started over again but I didn’t have time so this is what I was left with… A
bit of a mess really but not a complete fail. I will definitely try the cling
film method again!
Last but not least another huge thank you to Fee for being
such a wonderful host and supporting us all with our nail art! Thank you, Fee!
I think this looks gorgeous! It reminds me of semi precious stones like Unakite x

ReplyDeleteWhat?! You called that fail?? I love them! I think you created such a unique look to this! Love them matte/gloss as well as with and without flakies!
ReplyDeleteThat is so so lovely, thank you! I just think that they look a little bit murky and dull. I am glad that you like them x
DeleteI actually think the result looks very unique and pretty! I really like the opalescent effect.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am starting to see it in another light now... It is nice but subtle and I think I was expecting it to stand out more x
DeleteI really like it with the topcoat on, it's brilliant! I admire anyone who can do this, I can't get it right at all x
ReplyDeleteThank you! I will have another go at some point, I would like to see your tries too! x
