I’m not
sure how to feel about this one. I like the colors used; I wanted something a
bit edgy, but not over the top. My splatter mani is pretty subtle compared to a
lot of ones out there. I’m not sure about the technique mainly.
First I
didn’t have a little straw, so I took a regular straw squished it in half and
taped it that way. It worked ok. I found that to get a good color pay off I had
to dip the straw in the polish, and then hold my finger over the other end
(like what you do with soda sometimes). If that still didn’t work, I then had
to thin the polish a bit.
The base
is Sally Hansen Black Diamonds, splattered with Wet n’Wild Metallica, Stay
Outta My Bismuth (from their Chrome collection) and Chameleon Dreamer. I love
the Chrome collection that Wet n’Wild has out now, and Stay Outta My Bismuth is
great by itself (no pics, sorry!). However it only comes in a mini bottle!
Chameleon Dreamer works so well in this combo because in some lights it looks
silvery white, but in others it takes on a pinky hue.
Overall
the mani looks nice and I love the colors I used. But I feel that it’s a lot of
work for just a little bit of color pay off. Clean up wasn’t that bad….if you
tape your nails first!
Well,
hopefully this can get posted before the next challenge is due! Spooty internet
on the fritz messes up my mojo!
