Hey all! This week has been really busy but we have important business tonight-- it's my first Football Friday of the year! Tomorrow kicks off the Husky football season in our brand new, remodeled stadium-- we haven't see the inside in a year and a half!! So it's really exciting. We're throwing a big tailgate to celebrate and while I know it'll be a lot of fun, I also know I'll be exhausted when all is said and done! In any case, the Huskies take on the Boise State Broncos, who we last faced in Maaco Las Vegas Bowl-- a mere 8 months ago! Since this is a big game-- not only are we looking to avenge our bowl loss, but also to break in our new stadium the right way-- with a win!! So to celebrate, I wanted to do something fun and new, so I decided to try a saran wrap manicure. I hate saran wrap because it always wants to stick to itself, but that quality it what makes it perfect for this manicure!
For my manicure, I broke out two of the polishes from my Zoya LE Zang Toi trio and used
Peterhof Palace (also known as Zoya
Ziv), a gold foil and
Imperial Russia, a metallic purple. I put down two coats of
Peterhof Palace, let that dry and then put one coat of
Imperial Russia. Using a balled up piece of saran wrap, I then touched it on my nail to create the final design.

I'm really happy that this technique worked out-- I love it when that happens! It was really easy to do and I love the way it looks on the nail. I'll definitely be using this technique again in the future with other color combinations.
Go Dawgs! Beat the Broncos!
How pretty! The two worked well together :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa!
DeleteLove it! I STILL have not tried the Saran Wrap manicure!
ReplyDeleteYou should! I thought it was going to be a pain in the butt, but it was actually super easy! I was pleasantly surprised.
DeleteLOVE THIS!! Saran wrap manis are so awesomely easy and beautiful. This is way too regal for football, though, lol ;) Looks great!!
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by your guest post on Karine's blog and decided to give it a try! I love it. Thanks Liesl!
DeleteReally pretty - I went to a school for my masters who played against Boise State in football - not sure they are both still in the same leagues now - but Cal Poly at one point used to shake when it was time to play against Boise! I always like purple and gold together for nails. Just heard the local high school football stadium fire up last night for their first game - I live close enough that the wind directs the HS stadium PA system toward my house! Made me think OK it's fall - and now today college games on TV!
