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!
