Have some splatter nail art fun in the sun.
This Pinterest Beauty Trend Is the Must-Try Manicure of the Summer
Recommended for you
Confession time: I am terrible at painting my nails. My usual “technique” for manicures includes slapping paint on my nails, letting them dry, then taking a shower to remove all the polish I got on my skin. Basically, I’m the target user for spray paint nails.
Materials:
— nail polish
— paper plate
— straws
— Q-tips
— nail polish remover
— tape
— scissors
Instructions:
1. Start with a solid nail color base.
2. Cut straws in half.
3. Tape around your nails. It’ll make cleaning up much easier.
4. Dip one end of a straw in one color of nail polish. Make sure the entire end of the straw is covered. Place the straw a couple inches over a nail and blow into the other end. Pro Tip: When you blow, pronounce a “T” sound, instead of just blowing air through the straw. This will splatter the paint more.
5. Splatter more colors on your nails.
6. Once the polish is completely dry, remove the tape from your nails. Clean up any unwanted nail polish with a Q-tip dipped in nail polish remover.
