31DC2013 Day 27; Jackson Pollock inspired splatter nail art

This was the only part of this challenge I had an idea on what to do before I entered this challenge; the prompt is inspired by artwork. And as I said I knew what I wanted to do and that was Jackson Pollock (even though he's not my favorite artist), mainly because I've been wanting to try the splatter technique which is using a straw to create a random splatter pattern by blowing polish onto the nails.  It was actually less messy and easier than I thought. I chose one of his paintings and fell for one called Autumn Rhythm because of it's color scheme where the base is beige kinda looking and the the splatter is in white and black. Here you go;

Have you tried this technique? Do you like it or is it too messy for your taste?

  2. Jag har tänkt testa sugrörstekniken så många gånger, men det blir aldrig av... Tejpar du runt naglarna först? Kan tänka mig att man får städa en del annars... Men det är ju så häftigt!

    1. Ja, det blir ett coolt resultat! :D Jag tejpade faktiskt inte (hittade inte tejpen..lol) men det blev inte så mycket städning, det sprutas ut ganska precis där man blåser. Däremot hade jag en a4 under för att skydda underlaget. Ta tejp för säkerhets skull och skydda runtomkring :D

  3. Vilken bra och rolig tolkning! Snyggt splattermönster du fick till! Jag har velat testa länge men är lite feg för jag är lite osäker på tekniken... Hade varit kul att se splattret på en mer färgstark bakgrund också nån annan gång :D

    1. Tack! Kan ju dock inte säga att jag känner mig så ansvarig för hur mönstret blev då allt händer så slumpmässigt! haha :D
      Jag har också velat testa detta i säkert ett år men kommer göra det fler gånger nu när jag vet att det inte var så svårt eller jobbigt. Har varit sugen på en neonig variant så mer färgstarkt kommer du garanterat se här :)

  5. I really like this one, I think the colorscheme is working really well! Haven't tried this technique myself yet, am curious if I can deal with the "mess" :P

    1. Thank you! I agree with the colors (and that was also the reason I chose that particular painting), beige, black and white work great together! You should try! Just use tape and secure the working space with newspaper or something protective and go ahead! :D

  6. Really cool splatter!! I think you've translated the painting very nicely to the nails! The colors were just spot on!

    1. Oh, I'm looking forward to see your pictures about it later :D
      Yes, used top coat on top (I always do, my absolute favorite is seche vite) and here it's needed since otherwise it gets a bit bumpy and the top coat smooth everything out. :D
