Splatter- With a Twist!

Found this AMAZING way to splatter!!! I've used a straw and a toothbrush before.....

But then I found this tutorial that I love! But there's some things that I want to add in that would make some things clearer. 

First off, use WHATEVER colors you choose. Seriously. 

Second, the paint brush I used was a paint brush that I found at hobby lobby in a bag of random ones all mixed together. So as long as the bristles are soft and decent in length, you will be made in the shade. 

Third- with the acrylic paint to "splatter" on to your nails comes a frustration I encountered. Acrylic paint is too think alone to splatter. I read in a comment that someone said to use nail polish thinner, BAD IDEA. All you need is water mixed with the paint and then you take the brush and put it in between your thumb and middle finger, then use your pointer finger to tap it enough to cause a splatter. 

Easy as cake. Let the paint sink in for about 5-10 minutes so that you have the smooth look to it. Then use a top coat and you're done! 

MESSY! But worth it, see what I mean?

Here were the colors and polishes that I used. 

Cash's Shadowbox

If you know me at all, you will know that Riley, my parent's yellow lab back at home, and I have been ungodly close forever. I have had an 8x10 of her and I framed and up since I have lived down here in Colorado. I recently decided that since I have a pup of my own his picture should be in there. I then decided to embark on a monumental task of getting his paw print. That is what took the longest, otherwise, the rest is self explanatory minus the fact that I cut corners once again, and didn't use an actual shadow box, once his new tags come in I will be adding that to the collage as well.. Should have taken a picture after the AWFUL paint was on his paw.... Who knew that paint could be so terrible? Ask my five month old dog... He will tell you. Anyways, here are the pics!
