I finally did it. I used the traditional rainbow color scheme on my nails! I think this is the first time in, well, ever I’ve done this! And I am going to be perfectly honest with you…I don’t like it…
This was the day of the month I least looked forward to. I love colors, neons, clashes etc. but when it comes to the ROYGBIV array I cannot get on board. I watched Robin Moses’ splatter paint technique (linked here)ย and immediately gave it a try. I could not think of anything else (except maybe dashes) for this prompt.
What do you think? I personally don’t like it but that’s my personal color preference. I think I should have gone with one or two colors – in different shades. I almost did not even want to post this but…
Base:ย Color Clubย On the Rocks
Splatter: watered down acrylic paints, artist’s brush
Hi, my name is Monica and I have RA.
I love it! It’s so colourful and the random pattern totally works for me. Unlike you, this is one of my favourite challenge days ๐

Thanks!! I really appreciate it! I love the random part…I just wish I had done more similar colors maybe?

Huh! The only splatter I’ve ever done involved a straw and made a MASSIVE mess

That is how I used to do it until I saw Robin’s tutorial with the paintbrush. My paints were more watered down than hers so it still got everywhere (including my cabinets??). I like the paintbrush technique because the splatters are smaller!

I don’t even know how it happened because I was a good foot away from them! I’ve had pretty good luck with severely acetone-d polish too!

But wouldn’t that dissolve the polish it lands on???

I top coat the base first so I haven’t had any trouble so far!
