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.

You Will Need (7 things)

  • Nail Polish
  • Straws
  • Nail Polish Remover
  • Paper Towels
  • Cotton Balls
  • Q Tips
  • Wax Paper or plastic baggies

Steps (9 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    First paint your nails a base coat of white.

  2. 2

    Next cover your entire work space in paper towels, I promise this will be messy :)

  3. 3

    Pour a little bit of the first nail polish color on the wax paper or plastic baggie.

  4. 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)

  5. 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.

  6. 6

    I told you it would be messy! :)

  7. 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.

  8. 8

    You can use a clear polish to seal it if you want, I didn't and they've lasted fine.

  9. 9

    Sit back and enjoy your one of a kind nails!
