This week I created a monochrome nail design with splatter. This
nail look may take a bit of patience and work but I think it was all worth it
in the end. All you need is two nail polishes. And the simplicity of the colors
allows the design to be the main focus. To get this look:
You will need:
Base coat
White nail polish
Black nail polish
Top coat
Drinking straw
Paper plate
Step 1: First, apply your base coat. Then apply two coats of
your white polish. I used ‘White Hot’ by Sephora by OPI. Wait a few minutes for
your nails to dry a bit.
Step 2: Next, we are going to use
the straw splatter technique (this is the tough and messy part that requires
patience). Using your black polish, I used ‘Where's the Soiree’ by Color Club, put a few drops
onto the paper plate. Dip your straw into the polish and then point it at your
nail. Now, blow through the clean end to create the splatter effect on your
nail. The stronger and faster you blow through, the better it works. If it
doesn't work the first time don’t give up. You may not have enough polish at
the end of your straw. It takes a few tries. Continue and splatter all your nails
and then clean up the edges (you may put tape around your nail to make the
clean up process easier).
Step 3: Then, using your black
nail polish again, paint half of your nail. Wait a few minutes for your nails
to dry
Step 4: Lastly, apply a generous
amount of top coat and you’re done with this monochrome nail design.
