Splatter mani!

This is the first time I've done a real splatter mani - I've used the splatter image from Konad plate M21 before but I thought it was time to go for the real thing, super-messy in a true Jackson Pollock style! I did the spattering over a mani that was a couple of days old - M&S Autograph Ultimate Wear Nail Colour in Bordeaux, a lovely deep, rich red. For the spattering I used American Apparel Hassid (black) and Cotton (pale cream); I poured out a little of each onto a milk bottle cap, sucked a bit up into a drinking straw and blew it out over my nails. I did all the cream spattering first, allowed this to dry, then went back over all the nails with black. This was great fun to do, and not anywhere near as messy as I thought it might have been. I painted my cuticles (and entire finger ends) with cuticle oil before I started, and this made clean up really easy.  

I love the results and I'll certainly do this again!
