Paint Splatter Nails

Hi all, been a while since my last nail art post, had plenty personal drama, etc but now getting back to the nail art. :)

I got an email today from Refinery 29 showing fab nail art, so I thought I'd give it a go. Here's a link to the video how-to from refinery neon splatter nail art.

I didn't exactly follow it fully. I skipped the tape bit as basically I couldn't be bothered, feeling a bit lazy tonight :-s

I also didn't use a paper plate.

I basically painted my nails with two coats of a metallic champagne colour and let it dry.
Then I got my chosen colours yellow / orange and a straw. I used a pad of paper for under my hands to catch the splatters that missed the nail.
I did one colour at a time on all nails then switched to the other colour.
Needless to say there was a bit of paint splatter on my fingers but this was easily solved with cotton buds and nail polish remover.

Here is the end result, I'm pretty happy with it for a 1st attempt.
