Marbled effect created using saran wrap
I’ve been binging on Orange is the New Black this weekend (thank you, Netflix!) so today’s nail art had to be Orange! I did the marble effect using cling film and it’s my most successful attempt yet. In the past, my attempts have been a little too marbled but the detail is nice and clear this time around.
The colours I used are Sally Hansen Tahitian Sunset, piCture pOlish Totes, NYC Rooftop Party Berry and Nicole by OPI Yoga-Then-Yogurt.
The details are all DIY Nails water decals. The Drippy Letters are from Creepy and the Parental Advisory stamp is from Love/Hate.
ASOS Denim Jacket in Pink Mottled Wash – asos.com
A little while ago, I was flicking through this month’s Asos magazine and I cam across this pink mottled jacket that was the perfect inspiration for some nail art. In all my excitement I got started on the nail art right away, not realising that the jacket wasn’t even online yet! I wanted to wait for the jacket to appear on the website before posting the nail art so you could see my inspiration.
I achieved this look using saran wrap / cling film but I do it in a weird way! I splodged out my three colours on to a sheet of plastic, dabbed on a piece of crinkled cling film and transferred it to my nails.
For this look, I used Barry M White as my base colour.
I used scrunched up cling film to transfer the mottled pattern which I made using Barry M White, W7 Baby Pink and Collection Think Pink.
The circle stud details are from Born Pretty Store (style #123).
It’s all finished with a top coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.
Happy Friday everyone!! I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy to see the weekend. It’s been such a hectic week that I feel like I could sleep right through to Monday morning.
I’m back today with another new project that I’m lucky enough to be a part of… Nailvengers Assemble! Myself and a few other British Nail Bloggers have gotten together to start a monthly challenge amongst ourselves and for January we’re going for New Year, New Technique which is fairly self-explanatory – pick something you’ve never tried before and do it!
The ladies that will be joining me on this quest are the amazing bloggers behind One Nail to Rule Them All, Lucy’s Stash, xAmeliax and Brit Nails. We all met at the Cosmo Blog Awards back in October and have been in touch ever since. As inspiration and creativity was drying up for us towards the end of last year, we decided we should start setting ourselves a monthly prompt and work as a group to motivate each other and get those creative juices flowing again!
For my New Technique, I’ve gone for Saran Wrap nails. It’s such a simple technique and you can achieve some amazing looks with it, yet I’ve never tried it before. I followed Amelia’s tutorial for this but with a pastel colour scheme and I really like the way they turned out. I couldn’t resist adding a bit of stamping over the top and a glitter accent too!
I used China Glaze Tart-y For the Party as my base colour. Then I got down to the saran wrap-ing with Collection Think Pink and China Glaze Fade Into Hue. Check out the tutorial on xAmeliax’s YouTube Channel.
The glitter on my middle finger is Sally Hansen Be-Jeweled and I stamped on the design from MoYou Fairytale Collection 02 plate using BK Matte White.
It’s all topped off with two coats of Glisten and Glow HK Girl.
