Hi Everyone!!! Happy Sunday--I was MIA yesterday due some much needed rest and relaxation. Working all that over time took a toll on me so I lazed around, watched Discovery ID all day and read some hot romances. WHEW! I feel totally refreshed! I did have a bit of a struggle with today's AIS challenge though! Usually I have a great idea when a theme is picked however yesterday I was really struggling.
The theme for today is over a saran wrapped base. There are a lot of cool saran wrap mani's out there, I just wasn't feeling any of them! I decided to look through my stash and try to work out something with some untrieds I have. Nothing stood out too much then I hit the brown drawer and I snagged Essie Mink Muffs and Zoya Cheryl (which I've owned for 2 years and never put on once and added a bottle of Zoya Pasha to the mix!
I really love how this non traditional for summer mani turned out!
I did 2 coats of Essie Mink Muffs first--let it completely dry and then topped it with a coat of Zoya Pasha and dabbed away with the saran wrap. When that was dry I put a dab of Zoya Cheryl on a metal plate and then dabbed the saran wrap into and splodged it on randomly.
Honestly I wish I had a copper metallic to stamp with--but I didn't have anything light enough so I reached for Maybelline Bold Gold and DRK-B and stamped a couple of accent nails because I liked just the base so much I didn't want to completely cover it
I added the matte top coat because it just looks so much better matte! Check out thumbie!
I should do these saran wrap mani's more often!
Hope you're all having a great weekend! Mom and I are off today to check out The Wolverine! Hottie Hugh Jackman to the rescue!!!
