Hello hello hello! Today's Artsy Wednesday theme is inspired by Independence day. I am not from America so this day isn't celebrated here in Australia, but I still thought it was a cool theme, especially since the flag is very iconic with its three colours! I decided to use a technique called the Saran Nails, which utilises scrunched up plastic wrap to pick up colours applied over a dry base colour (here is a great tutorial by Katy @
Nailed It). The colours I used were; Nails Inc - Baker Street for the blue, OPI - The Thrill of Brazil for the red, OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls for the white, China Glaze - Techno for the glitter on the thumb, and lastly Jordana - Crystal Glitter over every nail except the thumb for subtle hints of glitter.
It wasn't too bad for my first try at the Saran nails and I definitely want to try it again! I hope you like :-)
Don't forget to check out the other lovely ladies partaking in this week's challenge!
Thanks for reading! Have a great day :-)
