Leanne 07/03/2012

This is amazing Lucy! I've been meaning to try this for so long but never get round to buying any straws!

Heather Mighty-Lambchop 07/03/2012

This looks amazing, it has an almost smoky effect. Beautiful!

I've never tried splattering so no clue about the straw question--I do know I like the end result you got!

P.S. Any chance you'd consider turning off word verification for comments? It vexes me so that I'm not sure if I'll get this comment through at all.

Love! I need to attempt a splatter mani again. The first time I tried, it was an epic fail!

Hi karen, I've read your post about turning off the word verification but I don't have the option in my settings. I'll keep researching it, I had no idea I had word verification on.

wow1 A terrific job!

KarenD 07/03/2012

Thanks, Lucy! As far as I know, you have to be in (or temporarily switch to) the old Blogger interface to be able to see the option to turn it off. Maybe that's why you're not seeing it?

Lucisek-Lucys Stash 07/03/2012

Thank you, yes, I had to switch to the old blog interface. Now it should be fine :)

Thank you very much! x

Hi Leanne, definitely try it, it's super easy and if you'll have good straws, there shouldn't be a problem. I'm visiting tesco tonight where I'll hunt for new straws so I will update this post wether the thinner straws make difference :)

Thank you Heather x

absolutely STUNNING mix of colours xx

I love it! I think it actually looks less like paint splatter and more like you dripped the beige into a darker liquid and it spread like that. I'm not sure if I explained it clearly at all ... like if you drop food coloring into water. :)

Minnie 07/03/2012

Luv it!

Mateja Mateja 07/03/2012

I love this, it looks beautiful! I've never tried splattering, have to do it one day.

Gwenn V. 07/03/2012

Wow, this is so pretty! It looks like some purple smoke... I love the combo you did :)

Stephanie 07/03/2012

This looks awesome! Amazing.

Gayle GWishlist 08/03/2012

Looks awesome!

There are several things you can do to adjust how the polish splatters. First, you can try different sizes of straw, from big bubble tea straws to the tiny coffee stirrers. Then, you can thin down your polish so that it flows a bit easier. Put it in a small container and add some polish thinner (or polish remover, I bet it would work fine too) and stir it up.

It's just a trial and error process to see what works for each individual polish. But this came out absolutely gorgeous!!

It does, doesn't it? Or it reminds me of smoke :) Thank you for visiting! x

Lucisek-Lucys Stash 10/03/2012

It's really easy, try it! The best thing is it will always look different and unique! x

Lucisek-Lucys Stash 10/03/2012

Thank you lovely Gwen :)

Lucisek-Lucys Stash 10/03/2012

Hi Laynie, thank you very much for your tips! I've tried thinner straw which helped a lot and I'll try to thin down the polish as well. <3

Jackie 11/03/2012

Love this!

Stacy Static 23/05/2012

I've never seen this before, its so cool! Do you have a tutorial you watched? I'd really love to try this, and am wondering about how to do so.

Lucisek-Lucys Stash 23/05/2012

Thank you very much Stacy! If you search splatter manicure on Youtube or Google you should find some tutorials. It' basically dipping pieces of straw (for drinking drinks) into polish and then blow the straw over nails ;)
