Layering Nail Wraps and Creating Mixed Mani Monday Magic

Layering Nail Wraps and Creating Mixed Mani Monday Magic

Hey Friends! ✨ It's Mixed Mani Monday, and have I got a fun twist for your next DIY Nail Wrap routine that you absolutely need to try! 🎨💅

So, I stumbled upon this idea while browsing through my nail wrap stash, and boy, am I glad I did. Why settle for one look when you can layer a solid colour over a solid nail wrap for an eye-catching manicure?

Here's the scoop: I dove into my leftovers and picked out a patterned wrap that really spoke to me. From there, I chose two hues from the design to use as accent overlays. And let me tell you, the result was chef's kiss. Whether you let the design or the solid colour take center stage, this layered look is a game-changer.

Now, I adore a funky pattern, but a full set sometimes feels like a bit much, right? And cuticle accents? Absolutely love them! So, I decided to experiment with this layered love affair, and guess what? The possibilities are endless! Glitters, solids, patterns—mix 'em up for a DIY manicure that's uniquely you.

My process was simple:

  1. Start with clean hands, washing with Dawn soap (because we love that squeaky clean start).
  2. A thin layer of Orly Bonder as a base coat - winter's no match for this bad boy.
  3. Warm up those nail wraps! I went for 'Berry Cream' on my middle and ring fingers—a delightful strawberry pattern with a sheer white background. So fresh, so chic!
  4. 'Swoonworthy' graced my pinky and thumb—a deep, rich red that's a must-have in any nail wardrobe.
  5. 'Perfect Posy', a creamy pink, adorned my index finger.

The magic happens when you layer 'Swoonworthy' and 'Perfect Posy' over each other, leaving just a hint of the base colour showing. It's like the manicure version of a wink. 😉

Top it all off with Sally Hansen Miracle Gel for that ultra-glossy finish, and voilà!

 

Pro tip: Tackle the wraps one by one, keeping the layers sleek and manageable. And here's a little secret—stretch your wraps gently using a mini heater. It's a game-changer for getting that perfect fit, especially when you're working with leftovers.
