Give Your Eyeballs A Break

Having just come home from an Ulta raid, thank you buy 2 get 1 free, I was swatching and searching for inspiration.  Looking to take a break from the uber-bright holiday colors (I know, I know - HERECY!!!), I wanted to do something soft and pretty.

And apparently barely noticeable.  But I like subtlety sometimes, so I'm rolling with it.


Zoya Erika and Zoya Dove

Erika is this perfect girly pink with little golden shimmery flecks to warm it up.

It's a gorgeous office day neutral, or base for a Nikki Minaj tribute?

The saran wrap method involves painting a thick coat of a second color on top of your first, then smashing some crumpled saran wrap on top, giving you a marbled effect without all the annoying water.

Yay!  Brain matter!

Swirly and soft and s...ingular?  I have no idea.

This process took almost no time, and I really like the effect.  I think, for this one, the muted colors did me more harm than good as you can't really tell the effect.  Because it's so time-effective, I'm sure that I'll do this one in a cornea searing combination sooner rather than later.
