Saran Wrap Sponging

Hey guys! Here today with a new technique I just recently heard about, using saran wrap for a sponge! I know for those of you that haven't heard of it yet think it sounds strange, I know I did. But seeing the effects won me over!

This is one of the easiest nail art techniques I've done, ANYONE can do this and it will turn out great! What I did was start with two coats of Funky Fingers Queen Cupcake, added my top coat, then using Zoya Kimber and China Glaze How About A Tumble I put a few drops of each on my nail art plate, then dabbed the ball of saran wrap into it. I then just dabbed the saran wrap all over each nail until the color was where I wanted it, then used a top coat again and I was done! See? Super simple!

Some people don't use a base color but since I wanted to make sure there would be no bald spots I did use one. Your imagination is the limit here! Play with colors and see what works for you!

For some reason no flash wasn't picking up the dimensions of this all that great so the second two pictures have flash :)

What do you guys think?

Until next time! Happy painting!

Fun With Striping Tape

Hey guys! Today I have something a little fun ;) I told you all in the last post that I wasn't done with what I called Rainbow Stained Glass Nails, I used some striping tape to create this look with inspiration to my childhood :)

Did any of you ever color paper with random colors, then color black over it so that you could scratch off the black and make designs? Well that's what I was going for with this look! I used one coat of Wet N Wild Ink Well over my already randomly colored nails and striping tape, pulled it all off and finished with a top coat.

It was pretty easy, since this was only my second time using striping tape I did have a bit of a problem with the tape itself, but other than that I was good to go! It's such a fun design that can be as random as you'd like it to be!

In the second there's a Crayola Color Wonder paper that my Monkey Butt (Brendan) colored on that has the same type of effect that the old school way of doing it does :D

Rainbow Colored Stained Glass

Hey guys! Here today with a new technique that Sarah from Chalkboard Nails posted just a few days back that she saw on the blog Gorgeois. They are both calling it abstract, but I think it looks like stained glass!

This is super super easy to do, it just takes a little bit of time since you do each color individually. All you do it randomly apply the colors with the nail polish brush, just make sure you aren't using too much of the polish at once and that's pretty much it!

Since I still had my colors out (I'm slacking!) from my rainbow water marble I just used some of the same ones. There will be more to this mani, but you'll have to wait until the next post for that ;)

The colors I used for this are OPI The Color Of Minnie, Loreal Boozy Brunch, Color Club Almost Famous, China Glaze Entourage, China Glaze Sky High Top and Julep Anne.

Until next time! Happy painting!

Mmmm Jelly Sandwich!

Hey guys! Here today with my first ever jelly sandwich! Sounds pretty tasty right? ;) So what exactly is a jelly sandwich, in the polish sense? I didn't know back when I was new into the polish scene but it's a layering technique normally with a glitter and jelly finishes done in layers.

My jelly sandwich consists of two of the three Zoya blogger polishes by Birchbox, and a fabulous black and white glitter from Sonoma Nail Art! I thought it would be fun to use Zoya Coraline and Zoya Kate together since pink and orange together seems to be a hot trend recently. The glitter used is Sonoma Nail Art My Three Glitters.

I started with one coat of the Zoya polishes, followed by a coat of My Three Glitters. I repeated the Zoya two more times, and My Three Glitters one more time. So it went Z, MTG, Z, MTG, Z. These Zoya polishes are beautiful!! I love them so much, and MTG is amazing too! There are black diamond shapes, white squares, black and white bars, black and white mirco hex, and small black and white hex glitters. Just yum!

Until next time! Happy painting!
