Manicure Monday - Sponged Winter Nails + Scratch Wonderland Nail Wraps

Happy Manicure Monday everyone! I just got home from Mexico at 1:00 am this morning and it was so friggin cold (a high of -25 celsius today!) Yikes - a big shock, so clearly I had to go with a Winter theme nail look!

The OPI polishes were sent as PR

Because I got home so late, I had to do these nails quickly this morning and they only took 15 minutes - they have lots of layers and I used a sponging technique since this months #CBBxManiMonday theme for the month is "experiments"! 
I'm actually really happy with how these turned out and they are totally representative of the cold Calgary Winter happening right now. But, they are also great for the Colour of the Year - Classic Blue!

The products I used for this week's Manicure are:

To create this mani look, I started with nail cleanser and base coat. Then I applied one coat of a dark blue base polish and took a triangle makeup sponge and tore off the edge so that it was rough and textured.

Then I painted a little white polish on an empty surface (this sounds weird - I just use an old yogurt container plastic lid), then I dab the sponge on to the white polish, dab a little off and the dab it all over each nail.

Then I took the Scratch Wonderland nail wraps and applied them over top of the sponged nails. Then, for a little extra touch I added a little layer of glitter over top of the nail and then I finished with a top coat!
