Graphic Splatter-Effect Nail Art

By Marta Walsh · 2015-09-12

Backstage at Nicole Miller's Spring/Summer 2016 show, butter LONDON's lead manicurist, Katie Jane Hughes, created a fashion-forward naildesign that perfectly complemented the fun, edgy collection.

What Katie says: "I created this bold nail look to play off of the street art inspired clothing in the collection. Black nails and edgy details are going to be a trend for spring. Spring beauty this season isn't about playing by the rules."

The Scoop: The graphic, splatter-effect nail art featured a pop of color that mimics the bold street art and graffiti patterns found throughout the collection.

The Design - here's how Katie created the look:

Apply two coats Nail Lacquer in Cotton Buds. Dip a bobby pin into Nail Lacquer in Union Jack Black. Position the bobby pin over the nail and blow through the middle to create a splatter effect on each nail. With a new bobby pin, repeat the process with Nail Lacquer in Easy Peasy (NEW – launching in April ‘16) on various nails on both hands. Lastly, apply one coat of Hardwear P.D. Quick Topcoat to create a high-shine finish.
