Cling Film Heart

Here are my third and final Valentine inspired nails.

I'm not 100% sure I can remember the base colour...probably Barry M Strawberry Ice Cream. I painted Barry M Fuchsia on top before dabbing it with ball of cling film (or plastic wrap) to create the effect.

I painted on a heart shape with a nail art brush and Barry M Black, then filled in the rest of the nail to create the cut out heart.

Illamasqua Nomad & Stance Cling Film Mani

Hi! I have another cling film mani today. I know it's sort of a lazy person's mani, but when you're stuck for time you can get good effects in minutes. Plus, I just had to try it using Nomad and Stance by Illamasqua, two of my favourites. They always look so good together. 

I used the same method I described in this post. 

See what I mean by how good they look together? I can't get enough of Illamasqua! Do you own any of their polishes? I think I have about 16 now. Must get swatching.

Cling Film Nails

Hello! That time of year is upon us again where there is little to no sunlight...which leads to me running around the house looking for the best light source to take pictures. I think I need to invest in a lamp or finally make a light box. I have no idea what kind of lamp to buy though. All I know is, English Winter = dull!! 

I decided to try a cling film mani at last (or saran wrap/plastic wrap, whatever you may call it) after seeing how simple it is and how nice the effect can be. 

My base colour is Barry M Turquoise, and the top colour is Barry M Grey. 

They're easy to do. All you need to do is - 

- Prepare a few small balls of scrunched up cling film, one for each nail

- Paint on your first colour and leave to completely dry

- Paint on a coat of your second colour, and immediately dab a ball of cling film all over your nail, picking up your second colour as you go. Finish with a top coat to smooth it out.

The result is this water colour/marbled effect.

So pretty! Definitely going to try more colour combinations.
