Coral and cream cling film (Saran wrap) manicure

I wanted to do a cling film manicure (aka Saran wrap manicure if you’re from the US).

I was already wearing a base of Chanel Lilis, so I thought it would be nice to use a complementary colour with it. I checked online, and it seems turquoise and coral are complementary colours. So I added some turquoise nail polish and did the old cling film trick with it. But I didn’t like it. The colours just didn’t look right at all.

So instead, I tried it with a cream and used OPI My Vampire Is Buff. That worked a lot better, especially after a coat of top coat had smudged and blended it a little.

For this manicure I’ve used:
  • Base colour: three coats of Chanel Lilis
  • Intermediate top coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip
  • Top colour: OPI My Vampire Is Buff, dabbed at with a rolled up ball of cling film
  • Final top coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip
