Happy Halloween all! I've teamed up with the Nailvengers (
Amelia,
Allie,
Alice and
Lucie) today for my first and final Halloween look. I'm sorry if you might have been expecting something a bit more adventurous considering I had
18 designs to choose from, but I was in a bit of a rush and blood drips are always going to be my go-to Halloween design! This time around, I tried to 3D-ify the drips with some highlighting and contouring with moderate success!
This glitter polish caught my eye half way through the paint job. It's an untried that's been sat on my desk just waiting to be used. My eyes skimmed over it and just thought 'the is PERFECT for Halloween!', so I removed the polish that was already there and applied the glitter instead!
For the blood drips, I painted a base colour of
Barry M Lychee, then freehanded on the drips using
Rimmel Heart on Fire with a
nail art brush.
I mixed a little bit of black polish in with the red to paint the shadows, then mixed a little bit of red with white for the highlights/reflections.
The glitter is
W7 Lava Flow. I used about four (really thin) coats to get full opacity but you could just apply two over white for a similar effect.
It's all topped off with two coats of
Glisten & Glow HK Girl.
