Here is the splatter effect as seen in the sunlight
Here is the splatter effect at a different angle
I finished the design with a matte top coat from Warpaint Beauty (bought at Hot Topic) because I feel that the matte gives it a more artistic feeling. You can see that there are a few big splotches here and there. However, this is much better looking than the first time I tried this technique (I don't have a picture of that though). I wouldn't recommend this technique if you (like me) are easily upset when you get messy or when things don't go perfectly. However, if you have done this with a better outcome I'd love to know how you did it.

I haven't tried the splatter mani yet. I love your color choices. So pretty together.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty messy but if you choose the right colors it's a good mani. I've heard some people mix a little bot of polish with thinner to make it easier to apply.
DeleteI could see that working. Maybe I'll give it a go at some point. You've inspired me. ;-)
DeleteI definitely would love to see how that turns out.
DeleteI've never tried splattering over naked nails. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! That was partially me being a little lazy :P
Deleteyour splatter looks really good! I really like the fun colours :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's so nice to hear :)
DeleteI love the matte finish on this. The one time I attempted a splatter I just ended up with blobs lol.
ReplyDeleteThat happened to me the first time and I thought matte might save it. It helped a little lol.
DeleteI haven't done splatter in so long. Great job! I think I'll Have to break those out realn soon.
