This week for Artsy Wednesday we’re doing cling wrap manis (aka saran wrap, gladwrap etc.). These are usually done with two cremes, or a creme and a shimmer, but I wasn’t ready to take Gloss ‘n Sparkle Goblins Grave off yet, so I used that as a base and applied ulta3 Gold Rush Fever on top. Here’s the result:
I like how the holo glitters glow from under the gold, but I didn’t like the final look at all and couldn’t wait to take it off! This week was a massive fail in my opinion – I’ll have to try another cling wrap mani soon to redeem myself!
This is a swatch of Goblins Grave on its own – so much better!
What was your last mani fail?
Better cling wrap manis by the other Artsy Wednesday girls:
Pretty Purple Polish – Maria’s Nail Art – Polished Genius – Unnaked Nails – Nail & Polish – Beauty Gnome – An Accent Nail – Valiantly Varnished – Lacquered Lunatic
i wouldn’t say it was a fail! i think the gold and the green are quite christmassy :)) xx
It is a bit! 🙂
I think it’s gorgeous – can’t see the fail 🙂
Thanks Maria! I think I was disappointed that I covered up the gorgeousness of Goblins Grave…
Whoa goblin Grave is GORGEOUS! Must have
It’s amazing! There’s an overseas distributor now too 🙂
I like that you chose a glitter base for this – very cool.
I want4d to try something different – just not sure it paid off. Oh well!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought this weeks challenge was a complete and utter fail!! I just did not like it and couldn’t get it to look like the pics i’ve been seeing! I love the colours you used though!
Haha I’m glad too! We have to try again someday 🙂
Fail? You crazy! I like it! 🙂
Thanks Alanna! I think it photographed a lot better than it looked in person though.
I think ours look really similar. I had fun experimenting but I’m not wearing the mani anymore. I love Goblins Grave! Want!
Goblins Grave is absolutely amazing! It’s one of my favourite glitters now, the jelly is just so squishable!
I don’t see the fail either but I know how it feels to do a mani and just not love it.
I really like that goblin green, is it a gel-style look or is that just helped by a great topcoat? What topcoat did you use?
It’s pretty thick, but I also used Essence Gel Look Top coat on top, then Seche Vite 🙂
Oh that’s a cool sounding product, so it makes your nail polish look like a gel? I love the gel texture, personally.
Looks pretty cool…but I much like Goblin’s Grave on its own!!
Yeah, I definitely prefer it plain!
agree with others, they don’t look fail. i quite like how it looks.
Thanks! I guess I just expected more from it 🙁
very very very pretty *_____*
