Saran Wrap Mani

Hey guys!!! Hope you all are well and having a good Ramzan

In today's post I'll be showing you how to creat a fun and cute look with just a piece of plastic wrap. The end result is so pretty and it honestly reminds me of tye dye and peacock feathers! So let's get started! :D


Things you're going to need:

1. a white nail paint (optional but its recommended that you do use it)
2. 3-4 colours of your choice (I chose blue, green, yellow and pink)
3. peel-off polish/tape (scotch tape, duct tape or any other)
4. Saran/Plastic wrap
5. nail polish remover and some q-tips
6. toothpicks (optional; help in clean-up)





Now to begin with, paint your nail white. After it has fully dried, paint the skin around your nails with a peel-off polish as shown. This is very helpful since it reduces the cleanup work left at the end of the mani. If you don't have a peel-off polish, some scotch tape would work just fine. 










Next, after the peel off has dried or you have placed the scotch tape around your nail, unscrew all of your nail polish bottles. Remember we have to work fast in this mani. Now cut out a piece of saran wrap and place your finger on it as shown and begin placing blobs of polish on your nail.









If you feel like some colour doesn't show, place more blobs of that colour. Now, take the saran wrap and press it on your nail. this will smudge all the colours together like this. 












Remove the saran wrap and use a toothpick to remove polish from the edges. It is desirable that you do this so as to get a cleaner look.








Then begin removing the peel-off polish from your skin. It will come off in a layer and save you a ton of time when it comes to cleaning. Same goes for tape. If there's still polish on your skin, remove it with a q-tip dipped in remover. After your nails have dried proceed with topcoat.
