Ta da ! My first ever splatter manicure ! I have tried to do splatter designs before, but I could never get the technique right and I hadn't sussed what sort of polishes to use, and generally ended up with giant splodges of polish that didn't resemble anything much at all ! I had originally planned to just do a nude colour with pink splatter, but I ended up going completely mad and went for three different colours !
For this design, the polishes I used were OPI Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh ?, Barry M Pink Flamingo, Barry M Yellow and Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream. When it came to the actual splattering, I didn't end up dipping my straw in a blob of polish on my workspace, but instead I just painted the polish straight onto the straw, which worked great for me !
So there we are ! I really like this mani, although I think the colours would have "popped" more had I used a white base (but I'm trying to refrain from using any white as bases at the moment, until my Seche Restore arrives, that is) ! Have you ever had any problems with splatter manis ?
Enjoy the rest of your day everybody !
it's lovely! and this technique is so funny! I have to try it myself!
ReplyDeleteThanks ! Make sure you protect your workspace though.. it's gets pretty messy !
DeleteCool look, love this. gotta try it myself :)
ReplyDeleteThank you ! You should, it's really easy once you get the hang of it ! Don't forget to show me a photo when you do try it !
DeleteI like how you used a nude base rather than a white base. It adds a different touch to it :) Lovely manicure!
ReplyDeleteAlso congratulations on winning Makeup Savvy's competition! You deserve it!
DeleteThanks ! I think the nude base makes iit look a lot more subtle than it would usually look on a white base !
DeleteAnd thank you very much ! :)

DeleteThis is amazing, I adore splatter nails! My first attempt at them was hilarious because I forgot to tape up around my nails and made a right royal mess of them!

Ahh thank you ! I absolutely understand where you're coming from haha, taping around my nails completely slipped my mind and I used LOADS of cotton buds to clean up !
DeleteI HAVE to try this! It looks like so much fun, but knowing me I would make a complete mess. And congrats on winning the competition. Your design was fab. x
ReplyDeleteAhh thanks ! Mess = fun, so there's no keeping you from doing this design !
