Welp, looks like I've got some catching up to do. Lots of manicures have come and gone since my last post. My nails grew out, then a few broke so they were down to nubs, and then they grew out again, lol. I'm going to try, more or less, to go in order with these. Here's one manicure I wore back in the beginning of August, using Zoya Charisma and Zoya Rocky. I actually wore this the week right before the KBShimmer swatches in my previous two posts. This was my first ever attempt at saran wrap nails.
I started out with 2 coats of Zoya Charisma, which is a neon magenta/purple shade. Application was really smooth and Charisma dried to a matte finish. Once that was completely dry, I followed with the typical saran wrap nail steps using Zoya Rocky, a wonderful dusty light blue.
Working one nail at a time, I applied a thick coat of Rocky and then took a small piece of plastic wrap balled up and dabbed it randomly on the nail, slowly revealing bits of Charisma underneath.
I think it went pretty smoothly, being my first time trying this technique. There were a few times that I thought I took too much polish off, but I just applied a fresh coat of Rocky and dabbed again with a new piece of plastic wrap. After waiting for everything to dry, I applied top coat.
I was really happy with the final look. Charisma and Rocky worked really well together. I think this is a fairly easy technique to do and would work well on those days when you just aren't sure what type of manicure you're in the mood to do.
