30 Day Challenge, Day 15: Splatter Mani

Hi everyone! Today's 30 Day Challenge prompt was Splatter Mani. Now I'm going to be honest with you...I tried to do a splatter mani the regular way. It was such a mess! There was polish EVERYWHERE! I think, in the end, the straws I had were too big and thus instead of a niced splattered effect on my nails it was globs of polish. I will try again someday, but for today...we have the cheater's version of a splatter mani.

When Bundle Monster released their recent Create Your Own stamping plates, one genius person submitted a splatter image and it is on plate BM-416. I never thought this was such a big deal until I actually TRIED to do a splatter mani and saw what a huge mess it makes, so this image is perfect for a hassle-free splattered look. I used Zoya Blu (baby blue) for the base of my mani and then the stamping colors were Barry M Cyan Blue (bright blue), Barry M Blackberry (navy), and American Apparel African Violet (purple) (which is showing some signs of the original splatter mani carnage on its bottle). I stamped first with the purple, then the bright blue, then the navy, rotating my image and moving it around on the nail each time so that the patterns looked random. I feel like pictures made this look a little weird, but it looked awesome in real life!

Be sure to check out what everyone else is doing today! They probably did the real thing, but I still like my cheater's version. ;) Thanks for looking everyone!
