So easy, quick and you can not mess it up!! First, get your supplies--a base color, a top color, your fav top coat and plastic. Next cut up your plastic- I used one of my many plastic grocery bags. I cut 5 pieces about 3 inches long and 2 inches wide.. Next- apply your base color. LET IT DRY COMPLETELY !!...This is where I used a 60 second drying coat. Once dry, doing one nail at a time, put on a coat of your top color, in this case-teal.You may want to wait about 15 seconds and then put the plastic on top, be careful not to move the plastic too much or you will end up with mushy marks and not the more angular clean areas. Let it be crinkled and crumpled. Remove the plastic in one motion- like removing a band-aid,you can go back and dab at areas that need more top color removed- just be careful not to smear!
It is a neat effect and it helps covers dings, dents and scratches. I would use this mani if I had a color on that I love and had scratched up- this way I wouldn't have to do a complete mani again! I think the whole thing took me less than 15 minutes start to finish because I already had a base color that was damaged. I also use a fast drying top coat called "out the door"... maybe next time I do this effect I will use two top colors and see what happens!

| My supplies!! |
 |
| I used a neutral color because I wanted the design to show up in pictures. I don't think I'd wear these colors together often. |
 |
| One nail at a time, add color...... |
 |
| BEFORE going to next nail, apply plastic count to 15 and remove. |
