I started off with 2 coats of Sally Hansen's White On. Then I grabbed the whole wonderful glassflecky collection and a straw and went to work. I had this idea where I wanted to use all 6 colours but in a sort of gradient across my nails.
Here are the polishes I used to splatter on each nail,
Thumb: Daisy Does It (yellow), Sparkle and Soar (orange)
Index: Sparkle and Soar, Wing Fling (pink)
Middle: Wing Fling, Fly With Me (green)
Ring: Fly With Me, Metamorphosis (turquoise)
Pinky: Metamorphosis, Sky High (blue)
I totally loved the look of the glassfleck polishes splattered over white!! It was so cool looking! But as you can see there were a ton of glassflecks left on my skin that were ridiculously hard to clean off, so please forgive me for that :)
Once I was all done I topped with NYC top coat and was left staring at my lovely nails. I didn't really like my middle nail but the rest of them I thought were pretty cool!
So I have a bit of a funny story to share about my NYC top coat. When Sammy from The Nailasaurus was raving about it I went out and got myself a bottle, or so I thought. I didn't realize that it was the In a Minute clear polish not just the regular NYC top coat. I was sooo frustrated with it and didn't realize why I wasn't having great results. When Emily posted about her love affair with it and posted a picture of the bottle I felt so silly!! I finally found a few bottles and snatched them up and seriously it is the best top coat ever!
I think my index nail is my favourite splatter in this bunch! What do you all think?
Do you like my idea of a gradient through the collection splattered across my nails? Think the idea came to fruition? Are you a fan of the splatter look?
Remember to stop by The Lacquerologist, BeautyGnome and Manicurator to see what these gorgeous ladies have come up with on this splatterday!
Ahhh the glass fleck polishes splatter so nicely! It's beautiful....but I'm sure clean up was not fun! I love how you made a sort of gradient...beautiful!! =)
