HOW awesome is this? I'd been wanting to try out a splatter manicure for quite a while - you know, the one where you dip a drinking straw in nail polish and blow it sharply across your nails. I finally got round to it last weekend, and decided that a selection of holographic polishes would make the most awesome finish.
Unfortunately I just couldn't get the hang of it! In the end, Colin helped out and pretty much did it all for me - but we still managed to make a massive mess! I taped my fingers off beforehand the same way you would for a water marble, because I knew it would be a bit messy but I didn't expect THIS much mess...
See?! Haha, ridiculous and a HUGE waste of precious (expensive!) holographic polishes but it was fun and frankly, it looks amazing. I can say that because I didn't do most of it. ;-)
The base colour is Charmaine from The Make Up Store, and the splatter colours are The Make Up Store's Britta (pink), GOSH Holographic* (silver) and China Glaze LOL (purple). I'm loving the Make Up Store polishes recently, I'll definitely be posting about those soon!
Have you ever tried a splatter manicure? What did you find was the best way to limit the amount of polish waste and mess?
My god, that's absolutely brilliant. I never thought of a holo splatter. And it's still somewhat linear after all the splatters!
ReplyDeletehow you managed to make it so flat and even, bewilders me!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing!

ReplyDeleteWow! Haha even though its very messy, there's no doubt it looks fantastic! :D

ReplyDeleteThis is very beautiful. Maybe good for a special occasion so you're not wasting polish just to wear it around the house!

I am so sorry the one Makeup Store we had closed down! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteThis is the most beautiful selection of colours for this effect. It looks awesome! The more splatter effect nails I see the more I want to try it.
