Neon summer splatter & gradient manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you my perfect-for-summer neon manicure. I started with two coats of Illamasqua -Scorch on all nails except from my thumb, on which I applied Zoya -Jolene. On my index and middle finger I applied spots of nail polish using the splatter technique. For the ring finger and pinky, I created a gradient of neon yellow and neon peach. Yes - there are only two colours there ( China Glaze -Sun of a peach and Chissa #255)! On my thumb, I firstly appied two big, white dots using a dotting tool and once they were dry, I applied the yellow and the peach colour above. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?


Also, today's the 3 year blog anniversary! Yaaaaaay! Thank you everyone for followings as well as for commenting all my posts! I do appreciate your support :)

TUTORIAL: Create splatter nails using a straw

Hi,
Today I'll show you my newest creation: splatter nails. After seeing some tutorials
on Youtube, I've decided to make one, too. 

All you need for this is a straw, scissors and
somne different nail polish colours. The splatter won't work if you use the straw as it is,
you have to cut it diagonally. The actual technique is a simple one: you introduce the
straw into the nail polish bottle and then you blow in the other side of the straw. 



I previously created a white base coat on my nails and, using a sponge, I created a gradient effect
with a green neon colour. The nail polished used were Matt Dull White from Born Pretty and
It's So Easy -Hot Green. I created the splatter using a black colour. I recommend that, before
you start blowing nail polish on your nails, you should apply tape in your cuticles. 
This will make it easier for you to clean all the mess. 

I did the same design on my best friend's nails, but I used pink instead of green.
The nail polish used was Sinful Colors -Cream pink.

What do you think? Which one do you like the most?
