NOTD : UV Neon Splatter

Hey there guys ! So today I've got another NOTD installment in tune with the theme with tonight's UV Party for Freshers' Week ! I actually purchased my first ever neon polishes a couple of weeks back especially for this manicure, I've had it in mind ever since I found out all the themes for the parties this week ! Great news is, it came out exactly as I imagined it !


Now this is only the second ever splatter mani I've done, and I'm pretty sure I've worked out a technique that works for me every time which I'm super happy about ! Basically what I do is paint the polish directly on to the straw before each splat, as opposed to making a blob of polish on a piece of paper or protective surface or whatever and then dipping the straw into the polish blob. It works way better for me, anyone else ?


For this design the polishes I used were American Apparel T-Shirt for the base, then for the different splatter colours I used Flormar N006, N013, N014 and N015 (so irritating that these polishes don't have names, I tried looking to see if they had names online but no such luck, I could only find the codes). I'm really happy about how this look turned out, I also put a quick coat of China Glaze Ghoulish Glow over the top before putting Seche Vite on, so hopefully that'll light up when I go to the party tonight !


So that's all for today ! I hope you like this design as much as I do ! I think I prefer this splatter mani to the first one I did about a month ago, what do you think ? I actually prefer the white base on this manicure as well, although I did like using the nude polish as a base for the first splatter to make for a more discreet (if that's possible) splatter mani !

Hope you have a great day everyone, also, don't forget to enter my giveaway if you haven't already !

  2. This turned out great and thanks for the hint about painting the polish right on the straw - totally didn't think of that and my first couple of attempts at this technique totally bombed!! I hate when polishes don't have names too - drives me batty!

    1. My first attempt at splatter was disastrous and didn't do one for ages (kinda like water marbling), so glad I worked out this trick !

  3. Always love a good splatter and these came out awesome! I hate that as well when they don't have names. It really irritates me especially when I do swatches to keep track of nail polishes.

  5. Hey Sarah! Petit passage sur ton blog, dis-donc, ça a évolué ici :p J'ai une grande nouvelle : j'ai arrêté de me ronger les ongles! Oui oui! Et du coup ils commencent à être longs (enfin pas aussi longs que les tiens mais plus aussi courts qu'avant quoi lol)! Le problème c'est qu'ils sont tous cassants, enfin j'ai l'impression qu'ils vont se plier limite, et je voulais savoir si t'avais une astuce pour les rendre resistants :-) et tu me conseilles quoi comme lime à ongles? Je suis novice c'est la première fois de ma vie que je les bouffe pas ^^
    Voilà voilà, j'espère que ça se passe bien à Bath, mais on dirait qu'oui! Bisous bisous (et au passage, ces ongles là envoient du paté!)

    1. Ahhhhh Juliette ! C'est trop bien que tu laisses pousser tes ongles ! Ce que moi je fais, c'est que j'utilise un durcisseur (qui coûte assez cher mais qui le vaut vraiment bien) c'est Nail Envy de OPI, ça marche trop bien ! Et puis il faut limer régulièrement, moi j'utilise une marque anglaise qui fait une lime à ongles que j'adore, mais j'en ai déjà utilisée une de Elite, il y a 8 étapes sur la lime et tu peux polir et tout, et ça marche vraiment bien ! Mais il faut pas polir trop régulièrement, une fois par semaine suffit, parce que sinon ça rend fragile ! ;)
      Et donc voilà, tu me rediras comment ça se passe pour tes jolis ongles ! :D

Bises, et bonne continuation pour le blog, je reviendrai de temps en temps pour voir ce qui se passe ;-)
