Fun (and messy) nails for artist in you!
You will need white nail polish and a variety of different color nail polishes. I used matte primary and secondary colors. You will also need to cut drinking in straws in half or even three pieces. I did my friends, but you can also do your own.

Step 1
First paint your nails a base coat of white.
Step 2
Next cover your entire work space in paper towels, I promise this will be messy :)
Step 3
Pour a little bit of the first nail polish color on the wax paper or plastic baggie.
Step 4
Use a piece of straw to scoop up some nail polish with one end, with the other end blow the straw so that the paint splatters across your nails (and hands)
Step 5
Continue with a new straw and new color until you are satisified. It may take a while since one blow only gets a few nails.
Step 6
I told you it would be messy! :)
Step 7
Use the cotton balls and nail polish remover to clean your hands and fingers. And a Q Tip for the details around the actual nail. You may want to wait for them to dry first so they don't get messed up.
Step 8
You can use a clear polish to seal it if you want, I didn't and they've lasted fine.
Step 9
Sit back and enjoy your one of a kind nails!
