Sorry again! I'm still horribly behind on posting! Anyway here is a quick post from me!
This mani was really fun to do. I actually got my boyfriend to do the splatter for me lol! I didn't want to get paint all over my hands or wear gloves and have to do only one hand at a time.
I started with a base of OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons (2-3 coats). For the splatter I used acrylic paints diluted with a bit of water. I was thinking nude + neons when I picked out the colors but I think my nude polish is a bit too dark. I think an off white creme color polish would have been better. Also the colors of the acrylic paint became more muted when diluted so i think the end result is a bit muddled looking.
But it was so much fun doing the splatter with my boyfriend that I think this is honestly one of my favorite manis anyway! We made such a mess in the bathroom! Look at the bath tub! Luckily acrylic paint washes off pretty easily especially if it's still wet.
Here is the tutorial I followed by Oh My Gosh Polish if you want to give this a try! :)
These look great! Never tried doing a splatter manicure this way but great to hear your boyfriend had friend helping you out with it.
