First up is my pretty splatter:
Dark Purple Base: Zoya - Pinta
Light Purple: Zoya - Marley
Medium Purple: Zoya -Tru
Dark Purple Base: Zoya - Pinta
Light Purple: Zoya - Marley
Medium Purple: Zoya -Tru
Now for the Matte Top Coat comparison:
Can you see a difference in the matte top coats?
I can't either.
Pointer and Ring: NYC - Matte Me Crazy ($2.00)
Middle and Pinky: Essie - Matte About You ($8.00)
Save yourself some money and buy NYC.
Love, Bethany
lol I think most mattes are about the same. I use Warpaints Beauty matte which I also got for $2. Love the Zoya splatter! They're so pretty, but I know next time I'm in Ulta I'll see them and think "Purple creams? meh...." LOL Super splatter job. What kind of straw did you use?
ReplyDeleteI used a drink stirrer that I got my Amaretto Sour the other day. Lol!
DeleteThat's the same thing I used when I tried it! LOL Yours came out a lot better than mine, though.
DeleteOoooh I love it with the matte topcoat! Great tip about the NYC matte coat, when I use up my Essie I will definitely be picking that one up instead! I hear NYC has a great quick-dry topcoat as well.
ReplyDeleteI have to try that!
DeleteOne matte that isn't the same - CND Super Matte. It's AWFUL. /rage
ReplyDeleteI really like the splatter. I've been wanting to try one for a while, just haven't remembered to pick up a straw.
I'll definitely remember not to try that one! Sorry it didn't work :(
DeleteI literally just bought the NYC Matte top coat yesterday. So glad I didn't waste my money on the Essie one!
ReplyDeletei love this mani! you did such an awesome job
ReplyDeleteLove your splatter mani!
ReplyDeleteFantastic job on the splatter mani! Great choice of colours too.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The combination of purples is really great. And I feel kind of clueless to ask this, but how do you actually do a splatter mani?
ReplyDeleteOmg I'm such an idiot for not putting that in the post! You use a straw! You dip it in the polish and then blow it onto your nails. It can get messy, but it's so fun! I like to use tiny straws, because they're more precise. I used a drink stirrer for this one! Sorry I didn't explain in the post!
DeleteThanks, Bethany! It's looks so cool, I'll have to try this sometime.
DeleteLove that splatter! Good to know about the matte topcoats!
ReplyDeleteThe splatter is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I love this combination!! I so want to do this :)
ReplyDeleteps: I love it so much more as a matte! Not sure why :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad I'm following you now! I'm all about saving money, and now I'm just bummed that I spent $4 on my Hard Candy Matte when NYC sells it for half. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Sorry about the Hard Candy though, I definitely love saving money!
DeleteI can't see any difference but omg, is this mani gorgeous!! I especially love the matte version :D Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your wonderful comments!

Can't wait to see what you come up with!
DeletePinta is, like, my favorite dark purple. I wear it a LOT (which is weird for me, since I adore bright colors), usually with sparkles over it.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous isn't it??
DeleteI love the splatter look i need to try some out!
ReplyDeleteI've nominated you for the Versatile Blogger award!! I love your nails!
