Gradient Splatter Manicure

Hello all! Today I tried out a splatter manicure. I've attempted one before using a straw and trying to blow the polish onto the nail, but I never really got the hang of it. Instead, I flicked watered-down acrylic paint from a brush onto the nail. I like this result much better!

The middle picture shows the base colors of the manicure best; it's a gold to copper to silver gradient with black splatter on top. The gold is Enchanted Polish Austin Powers, the copper is Cirque Cypress, and the silver is Hits Artemis. All three of these polishes are holographic, so I included the bottom picture to show you all the pretty holo! As I stated above, the splatter is black acrylic paint. In conclusion, I really love this manicure! I may have watered down the paint too much which led to smaller spatter, but I kind of like the more speckled look. Do you think it would have looked better with bigger splatter?

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to enter the Enchanted Polish giveaway ending February 23rd at 12:00 a.m. EST!
