Saran Wrap Art with the Zoya Naturel Collection

Good morning!  Hope your Saturday is going well.  Me and my clan just got up and had a delicious cinnamon roll bake and now we are thinking of heading out to see the Lego Movie (yeah - I have 3 littles, 2 of which are Lego loving boys).  Aside from trying to hit up a restock later today that's about it for my plans.  And I have this fun nail art to show you today!  The Saran Wrap method is so simple, even an art novice like myself can make it look fabulous!  Yesterday I shared the Zoya Naturel Collection (you can see it HERE)  and this is another post featuring that collection!  


Alright, I started this with 2 coats of Normani, the darkest color in the Naturel Collection - a gorgeous "sable mauve cream."  I let Normani dry completely and then I used the saran wrap method.  This is truly the easiest yet coolest looking art effect.  You need saran wrap (of course), cut up into small squares, and a paper plate.  I took Chantal, the "French Vanilla cream" and used the brush to put some on the paper plate.  I balled up a small square of saran wrap, dipped it in the polish and lightly dabbed it on top of Normani.  No rhyme or reason, do it until you think it looks good!  I let Chantal dry (which happens very quickly) and then did the same thing with Brigitte and Rue.  Once all was dry I used 1 layer of topcoat.  Voila!  What do you think?  Will you try the saran wrap method?

Zoya Naturel Collection

Good morning!  I have a big post today featuring the Zoya Naturel Collection.  This is a gorgeous, neutral set of shades that is sure to have a color that compliments everyone's skin tone.  I also think I have found my perfect match mannequin hands color...you will see it shortly!  This collection was released early last month.  It's available to purchase now at the Zoya website.


I went lightest to darkest (probably just like every other blogger) so up first is Chantal.  Zoya describes Chantal as a "French Vanilla cream."  It really does look like a creamy off white shade and it's really lovely hand well made.  I used 2 layers of Chantal and no topcoat.






Next is Taylor.  Taylor is a perfect shade for me and is possibly my perfect mannequin hands polish.  Zoya describes Taylor as a "light toffee cream."  Ok - 2 shades in and their descriptions are making me hungry.  Taylor was another perfectly creamy polish.  I used 2 coats and no topcoat.  







Moving along into the dusty nave and berry shades, this is Rue.  I really loved the "boudoir blush cream" shade and the formula/application were both impeccable.  The barely there color in Rue makes it perfect for every occasion.  I used 2 coats of Rue and no topcoat.  







Brigitte is one of my favorites from the Naturel Collection.  This "bombshell mauve cream" is gorgeous and shiny and the perfect color.  It is a tad dusty and has a little bit of a red undertone to it.  I used 2 layers of Brigitte and no topcoat.  







Another one of my favorites from the collection - Odette!  Odette is a "sultry orchid maroon cream."  How perfect is this color for 2014 with the pantone color being Orchid!  If you get 1 from this collection it may as well be the color of the year.  Just like all thrones before it, Odette had a fabulous formula and applied flawlessly.  I used 2 coats and no topcoat.  







Finally we have Normani.  This "sable mauve creme" is a real looker!  Normani is rich and creamy and luxurious.  A nice, but noticeable neutral shade for any day wear.  Awesome formula, flawless application.  I used 2 coats of Normani and no topcoat. *my macro was way off color wise so I didn't include it*
