Over the weekend I posted my very first saran wrap manicure, and did a short little photo-tutorial of how I use the saran wrap method.

I have kind of become insatiable when it comes to this method to be honest (kind of like Anastasia when it comes to Mr. Grey… sorry, I had to insert a little Fifty Shades humour here).

This manicure was achieved by using the saran wrap tutorial.  I started out by painting my nails two coats of, none other than, OPI My Boyfriend Scales Walls (no surprise there, as this is my all time favourite off-white).  I then painted two shades of polish, randomly, onto a plastic sandwich bag.  The two shades I used were China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy and Cult Nails Manipulative.  I pressed a rolled up ball of saran wrap down onto those two shades and then dabbed it down firmly (only once) onto the nail.

The saran wrap method looked like a splatter manicure (without all of the messy cleanup AND without a raised surface).  I wanted to add a little extra to this look, so I stamped with Konad m-70 and China Glaze Passion.

The addition of the golden stamped splatter adds a little bit of extra dimension to this look AND from further away, it looks like my nails have a perly finish… which in this case, I quite like

Yup… another manicure that I am so pleased with.  I know I shouldn’t be tooting my own horn, but this look makes “my inner goddess get up from her chaise lounge, stretch her limbs, and give a yelp of excitement”… if you don’t know what I’m talking about, perhaps you too should cave and start reading Fifty Shades (I’m hooked) lol
