Splattered Aztec

I wish the details of the splatters were more prominent on this one since I spent so much time splatter each finger individually but I still dig it.

Seafoam Geometric

For these nails, I started with China Glaze One Polished Pony and then did a light splattering of China Glaze Cutie Mark The Spot, China Glaze Dashboard Dreamer, China Glaze New Birth and Color Club  'Til The Record Stops.

Splatter Drips

 Since my Splatter Spikes, I've been thinking up even more ways to use the splatter look and this time I decided on drips. I don't know why, but I decided to do a bit of a watermelon look, so I went with green drips and a pink gradient. First I did the gradient, then placed drip vinyls on top and did the splatter. I think this might have been cooler in a different color scheme, but I do think this is cute.

Splatter Spikes

I love splatter nails but I find that there isn't a whole lot to really do with them design-wise, so this was my attempt at trying out a little bit more with the splatter look. I started with a subtle purple and blue gradient to make the other side a little interesting as well. I didn't have any chevron vinyls that were the width I wanted, so I ended up making my own by cutting a bunch of triangles out of tape to protect the gradient section  from the splatter and create this spiky look. I don't have a list of polishes used because I pretty much just grabbed any blues and purples that I thought would look good. I'm so happy with how this turned out and it makes me want to play around with splatter looks even more!

Honeycomb

I'm not a big fan of wearing a lot of yellow on my nails, so to make the base a little more interesting I added some subtle splatter using  Orly Lemonade, Zoya Jacqueline, Zoya Cole, Zoya Darcy, and Color Club Hot Hot Hot Pant. I started on my ring finger, initially painting the design in a different direction, but I thought it looked more like fishnet than honeycomb, so I switched it for the rest of the nails. The color choice was definitely out of my comfort zone, but I ended up loving these.

Jawbreaker Splatter

It's a splatter design for today. This time I tried to make sure there was more of a speckled look, rather than big splats all across the nail, and I think it's a nice effect. I used China Glaze Treble Maker, China Glaze Grass Is Lime Greener, China Glaze Too Yacht To Handle, China Glaze Boho Blues, China Glaze Plur-Ple, and China Glaze Glow With The Flow. I was kind of careless when splattering, so I ended up making a pretty big mess on my hand.

Splatter Chevrons

I saw a design similar to this on Pinterest a little while ago, and because I love splatter and chevron, I decided to try it out. I used Zoya Tiana, Color Club Hot Hot Hot Pants, and Color Club Macaroon Swoon. I think it's kind of neat, but I wish I had used some bolder colors.

Splatter Nails

It seems like it's been a little while since I've done any splatter manicures. Splatter can be incredibly messy, but I still love doing them. Not to mention, it's a very quick and easy way to get a cool looking design. I used China Glaze Plur-Ple, China Glaze Glow With The Flow, and Essie Vibrant Vibes.

Warm Toned Splatter

Hi! Today I have a splatter mani! It's been a while since I did any kind of splatter, and it used to be one of my favorite techniques, so I really wanted to try it again. It's really easy for me to go overboard when doing splatter, so I tried to concentrate on not getting any humungous blobs of polish on the nail. I'm very happy with the result; I love the colors! The base is Zoya Jacqueline. For the splatter I used Xtreme Wear Razz-Berry, China Glaze Giver's Theme, and Zoya Thandie.

Bloody Crime Scene

Hello! Today I have another Halloween manicure! I decided to go ahead and do a bloody crime scene splatter manicure. It's certainly not the most original idea, but I love doing splatter manicures anyway. I used two reds, China Glaze Merry Berry, and Red Satin. I also added some police tape to make it look like a crime scene. The tape is Zoya Darcy.

Spring Splatter

Hello! Today I have a splatter manicure! This is one of my favorite techniques. Today I went for some pastel spring colors. The base is Zoya Blu. I splattered on Xtreme Wear Mint Sorbet, Color Club Vintage Couture, Orly Lemonade, and Zoya Julie.

New31DC : Day 11

Hello! Today calls for splatter nails! I love doing splatter nails, so I was pretty excited for this day! I did them by putting polish on one end of a straw and quickly blowing out the other.It's kinda easy to go overboard with this kind of mani, so that's something to watch out for! I think this is the first time I used a colored base.

The base is Zoya Lara. I splattered on Zoya Wednesday, Color Club Winter Affair (gold), and Xtreme Wear Black Out.

31 Day Challenge II: Blue Nails

Day 5 of the 31 Day Challenge calls for blue nails! I really couldn't settle on a design for this one.
Eventually I decided to just do a splatter manicure using just a handful of blues. I've grown to love splatter manicures. It took me a while to get the hang of it, but once I did I found them to be pretty simple. Also, despite being fairly messy, and a tad wasteful, I love seeing how all the excess polish splattered onto the paper. I started off with a white base, Xtreme Wear White On, and then I pretty much just closed my eyes and grabbed polishes. That being said, I have no ideas what specific colors I'm wearing..

 

My masterpiece!

Through The Decades- 80s

Today's Through The Decades post is the 80s! I was most excited for this because I absolutely love the 80s and so wish I was alive during this decade more than any other. I think that the 80s is very much recognized for its wonderfully awful fashion. So, to channel that aspect of the 80's I did a splatter manicure. I know I've definitely seen some outfits with paint splatter designs from this time period.

My lovely unintentional masterpiece

I also did the same splatter over a black base just for fun, here is a crummy picture of it!

I used China Glaze Four Leaf Clover, Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away, Twisted Pink, and Mellow Yellow over a white and black bases.

Splatter Success!

 This is my first successful splatter manicure! I've had this color combination in mind for a while, and was really excited when I thought to put it in a splatter manicure. Splatters are really neat, but boy are they a pain to do. They are extremely messy, so be prepared for some massive cleanup. Also the polish on the nail was extremely thick for me. I guess practice makes perfect! I can't wait to try out more of these!
I did this manicure today to participate in Splatterday, such an adorable name, which a bunch of lovely blogging ladies came up with.

The masterpiece I made during the process. Can't help but feel I wasted a lot of polish.

I used Xtreme Wear Coral Reef, The Real Teal, Orly Royal Navy, and China Glaze For Audrey
