Sinful Colors Bubble Bath Swatches and Splatter Mani

 Bubble Bath was one of the first Sinful Colors that I purchased.  I was sitting at home a few years ago and saw a tutorial on how to do a lady bug mani.  I raced to Fred Meyer to buy white, red, and black polish and Sinful Colors was the cheapest they had.  I was never able to make the cute lady bugs the tutorial had and ended up giving up polish for a few years.  Eventually I threw away the black I had bought because I am not one to wear black polish.  Or so I thought.  I still don't wear it by its self but it is a necessity for any nail polish junkie.  I haven't seen Bubble Bath around currently but Ruby Ruby, the red I purchased a few years ago, was released again just a few months ago so maybe Bubble Bath will come out again.  I hope so because it is a lovely pearly glossy white.  I am able to get opacity at two coats.  They couldn't have picked a better name because I own a white bubble bath/shower gel that is the EXACT same color as the polish.  I included a picture below.  I was pretty excited about this, all thought I'm  sure you won't find the same joy in it that I did.  I know I am a big dork, but whatever gets us through the day, right?
  I have wanted to do a splatter mani for a while and the other day I finally remembered to borrow some straws from work.  I followed Chalkboard Nails tutorial, almost perfectly.  I couldn't find my tape and my lazy butt decided it wouldn't be a big deal.  HA HA HA!  Was I WRONG!  Take my advise, follow every step.  And if you don't have tape, go freaking buy some.  It would probablly take less time to run to the store, buy the tape, and tape up your nails, then it would to clean up the horrendeous mess that a splatter mani makes.  I will NEVER do a splatter mani without tape again.  It also took forever to clean up because I decided it would be a good idea to use colors with glitter in them.  Ummmm yeah, clean up was terrible!

What about you guys.  Have you done a splatter mani?  Was it sucessful?  I wish I would have gotten better pictures of this one.  For some reason I thought I had good ones, but I really didn't!  Oh well.  Better luck next time.
