This is my Turquoise weekend mani! Looks a little southwestern!! I absolutely ADORE this color combo and method!!
I was nosing around Instagram and A girl Chelsea did this with colors that look like these and I fell in love! Doesn't it look like red and blue turquoise?? I heart it!!!
The colors that I used are beautiful on their own, but STELLAR together! :D It's 3 coats of Wet 'n' Wild Spoiled "Shrimp On The Barbie" (the shimmer in this color is sick!!!) & a coat of China Glaze "Aquadelic".
The technique used to achieve this look is super fun and easy! All you do is paint your nails with a base color and let them dry completely. Then come back and paint a layer of another color on top, and before it dries, you dab pieces of wadded up saran wrap on top lightly, then top coat and your done! I put about 5 minutes into this mani for real!!
And how neat does it look?? Some tips before you try this out yourself??
*Get 10 little pieces of Saran wrap ready, so that when it comes time to dab, you don't mess up the nails you have already done.
* Do not dab over wet nail polish! It will smear and get yucky.
*Pick contrasting colors so your design is sure to pop!!
*I looooove the look of a metallic/frosty/glittery color with a creme. Looks awesome!!
