I did this at like 9am right after my brother left for work and I walked back into my house after finishing this and it was 11:10am! But that evening when I was at my best friends house she wanted me to do a splatter mani for her too. She used a light taupe shimmer for her base (I don't know the name, sorry!) and we splattered with China Glaze Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Sinful Colors Pink Cream, and OPI Ogre-the-Top Blue. I don't have pictures of her manicure because I did it at night and when I was at her house the next afternoon, it had already chipped because she failed to put on top coat *tsk tsk*.
But on my splatter mani, I used Sinful Colors Snow Me White as a base and I splattered with Sinful Colors Cream Pink, Funky Fingers Riot, and Funky Fingers 220 Volts. I wanted to use cheaper nail polish (SC were $2 each at Target and FF were 3 for $5 at Five Below) in case it looked very bad (but luckily it didn't).
I used the tutorial from Jen at The PolishAholic to do this mani. The size straw I used was smaller than a McDonald's straw but about the size of a Starbucks straw that you use to drink your coffee. I also decided to add shimmer in Pure Ice Oh Baby on top of the splatter :)
The plate that I splattered over. |
Left thumb. Very blurry (I know :P). This was the first nail I splattered. I think I did a pretty good job :) |
Left hand. Looks pretty good, eh? |
Extremely blurry right thumb. I will explain later... |
My two favorite fingers (right ring and right pinky). |
My workspace. Sad isn't it? |
The Deborah Lippmann set I just picked up from Nordstrom during their anniversary sale! |
Right hand. If you're wondering, my computer is from when I searched "Youtube myspace and I'll google your yahoo!" |
Okay I have a few things to explain about this post. First of all, I am starting to watermark my pictures. I don't fear people stealing them, I just want it to be made known that they are mine (and just in case someone tries to take them).
Also, I am ashamed at the quality of my pictures. They really suck and I really do know it. I have my Nikon at home but its really not cooperating. The last time I can remember it cooperating was about early June. But it won't focus so I do have to post the sucky quality of my phone pictures. I might try Mom's phone's pictures soon...
In addition to that, Blogger decided not to cooperate with me today so all my pictures are out of order. I apologize for that...

Finally, I am scheduling posts. The first one I did this with was China Glaze Mega Bite post. This is because the mani before that lasted only a few days and I'm trying to stay weekly :).
Okay I love love love this! Enjoy!
Happy splattering!
