The Nail Files!! 7/6/12

 

I am linking up with Vickilious Life and Fabulous but Evil this week. If you want to join in the fun click on the logo above to get started!

Soooo this week was OBVIOUSLY, the 4th of July so I had to do something fun with my nails. My friend send me a picture of paint splatter nails and I thought that would be fun so here is what I did.

I LOVED doing the paint splatter nails and almost did a tutorial but got distracted and ended up not having time. However, I will give you a few tips on doing paint splatter nails: 

1. Lay something down on the table - it is MESSY!

2. Use Petroleum Jelly/Vaseline around you cuticles & even up your fingers a little bit - don't get it on the actual nail. Personally I think that Petroleum Jelly works better than taping off your fingers for two reasons. One, it's easy to apply and two, have you ever tried to paint your nails with your fingers all taped up?! It's difficult.

3. Use a long straw, not a short one. I saw a tutorial that said using a short straw gave you more control but I couldn't get the short straw to work at all.

4. It will not work every time. So don't get frustrated, just remember to have fun. Oh and maybe do this in a big room with lots ventilation. LOL
