A Pretty Cling Wrap Mani

Hey all!  I love, love cling (saran, plastic) wrap manis.  It's nail art that I can actually do!  Today's mani is done with China Glaze Sweet Hook and Orly Decoded.  To do a cling wrap mani I start by painting on my base color and allowing it to dry a bit.  They I paint on the second color, in this case Decoded, and then I dab the plastic wrap on it.  I do this one finger at a time.  The best part is if you take too much of the second color off you can always add more, then dab again.  After that I let it dry a bit then topcoat it.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy :)

Have you tried a cling wrap mani before?  I'd love some color recommendations to try out.  Thanks for stopping by.

*I bought these polishes myself.  Every time I went to the supply store Sweet Hook called to me.  I finally gave in and brought the poor lonely polish home.*

Zoya Natty

Hey guys!  Did you have a good weekend?  We had lots of fun here in the MLiP house.  Both boys had their first soccer games of the season.  For my 4 yr old it was his first soccer game ever.  I have a great photo to show you after the polish talk.  I also saw my first 3D movie today, Finding Nemo.  I love Dori so much.  Anyhow, today I have Zoya Natty to show you.  Now the photo isn't the best because the sun disappeared for 4 days.  That's unheard of for Phoenix this time of year.  Natty took two coats to be absolutely perfect.  The formula was fantastic.  Natty is a dusty medium blue.  I used the saran wrap technique on my accent nail.  I painted two coats of Zoya Carey and let it dry.  Then one coat of Natty and I used a balled up piece of saran wrap to remove some of the polish.  I love this super easy nail art technique.

Have you tried this type of nail art yet?  What are your favorite color combos for this?  I hope you have a great Monday.  And as promised here is a picture of Beckett trying to do a jumping jack.  Mr. MLiP caught B in mid air.  I love this picture so much.
