Day 21: Inspired by a Color (31-Day Nail Art Challenge)

It's day 21! Just 10 days left till the end of this challenge, whew! Today's challenge is inspired by a color, and, of course, the first color that came to my mind is my favorite color... PINK!
I used 2 Sally Hansen polishes here. My base color is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear White On. For the pink color, I used Nailgrowth Miracle #230 in Pretty Petunia. I used the splatter technique to incorporate these 2 colors. So first, I painted my nails white. Then I wrapped my fingers surrounding the cuticle area with tape for easy cleanup. I had a newspaper laying on the floor  because this technique can be kind of messy. Now, using a straw, I dipped it in Pretty Petunia. I sipped just a little bit so that there would be some polish in the straw. I put my hands on the newspaper, placed the straw above my hands at least 6 inches higher, and blew through the straw quickly. Blowing it hard makes the polish scatter on my nails. What's exciting about this technique is that you get random designs on your nails. Just make sure to keep a good distance between the straw and your hands so that you won't get a blob of polish on your nails, that happened to me before, lol!
