Inspired by Pollock Splatter Nail Art - Digit-al Dozen Art Week with OPI Skyfall
Good morning :)
Art week continues...and what art week would be complete without the iconic Jackson Pollock inspired splatter mani? I didn't base mine off an individual painting of his, just the concept. And I knew I wanted to showcase polishes from OPI Skyfall Collection. For more information and to shop: visit www.opi.com, follow OPI on Twitter @OPI_PRODUCTS and become a Facebook fan!
I used OPI Moonraker for my "canvas" base. It's the only one of the bunch in this collection with a slightly problematic application. I initially used OPI Nail Envy as my base coat, but when I went to apply Moonraker..it literally slipped around on the nail like an oil patch!! I tried a bit more then decided to go another route. NO BASECOAT. This polish applied much better that way. I have on 2 coats. It needs a gentle steady application as it shows brush strokes. I do really like the color, it's an interesting blueish silver.
I splattered with: Skyfall, Casino Royale, The World is not Enough, You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me, On Her Majestys Secret Service using a small drink box straw, I find that easier than the large straw.
I really like all these colors together and I like the final look..though in retrospect..I wish I splattered even more :)
What do you think?? Stay tuned for tomorrow's Art Installment and see what the other ladies have created for today!

I think it looks amazing and very well balanced! The splatters came out so nicely, and specially the red ones! It reminded me of Dexter ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like the blue splatter the best ;)
DeleteSo awesome,i love it!♥
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! The red sort of looks pooled up and bunched together - which gives it an awesome textured look!
ReplyDeletePure awesome! I love this so so much!
ReplyDeletePerfect for Halloween, these look like blood splattered nails. I guess I am not much into the whole spattered look. But this was like ewww, sort of gruesome.
ReplyDeleteawesome! :D
ReplyDeleteIt seems like you named 15 colors that you used but I only see like 3 on your nails lol. =/
ReplyDeleteHi Kellie, I named 6 colors, and I promise you they are all on there. I enlarged the close-up pic, so maybe it will help them be more visible.
DeleteI love it! The glitter in the polishes look good together with the metallic base
ReplyDeletewow this looks different but cool. I absolutely love the color combo. I'm gonna have to incorporate those two colors in a mani.
ReplyDeleteThey look great, and reminds my of bloodsplatters, It might be a good one for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteNice and bloody :) Love those splatters....they take a long time to dry don't they?
ReplyDeleteOoh! Love this!
ReplyDeletelooks great, these colors together look awesome
ReplyDeleteYou always pick the best color combos that I would have never considered. Love this! And your splatter is never gloopy! :)
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty bloody but not in the scary kind of way :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that was just amazing! I just found your blog today and I will be back! Very nice pictures. Greetings from av very cold Stockholm.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I must've missed this one but I really LOVE it.
