Hi Goddesses
As a lot of you know, the splatter is one of my favourite mani techniques. Not only does it fit naturally into the skillset of a "splodger", but it always looks so damn awesome.
This is perhaps one of the most beautiful splatters I've ever done - but it shouldn't have looked like this. No ? No. You see the dark purple I used is Let's Groove by China Glaze. I love it cos it's got a funky 70's vibe to it - you can see that swirl of shimmer in the bottle shot. And yet when splattered, it came out jet dark purple, and I'm so glad it did.
This started as a base of Butter Muggins, which I love. It's a gorgeous soft blue toned lilac, and the BL formula gives it a lovely thick, squishy appearance.
I then splattered with Let's Groove - and the lilac and the dark inkiness of the purple just go sooooo well together - and then I splattered with Catrice Dirty Berry, a stunning medium grey / purple holo.
This is also my favourite way the polish has ever landed on my nails, and I think now polish consistency has more to do with it than I ever realised (makes sense), so a newer, thinner polish will fly further and more randomly than a thicker, stodgy old polish.
And just for a laugh, here's pre clean-up.
Enjoy xx :)
