I had originally wanted to do a red splatter mani but I've seen it fairly recently to commemorate the Dexter season premier, so I wanted to do something a little different. I tried to do a sugar spun mani, but I couldn't get the stupid polish to thicken enough to really get the strips on the nail. So I just globbed it on the nail sporadically. =P

I didn't use a topcoat to keep the goopy texture to make it look more like fake blood!

I decided to include the swatch picture in with these so I don't keep boring you with a swatch of a color you've seen under my nail art! Voila! Sally Hansen Malt is a great neutral beige. Lovely work color. Just enough peachiness to not give me mannequin nails. It doesn't make my fingers look as dirty as they do below, I took this early morning outside and my fingers were freezing!

Malt is such a pretty nude! The mani turned out great!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I picked it up randomly in a 5 pack at Big Lots for $8 so it was super cheap, so I figured, why not? I'm really happy I grabbed it, and it looks great with the mani!
DeleteI love this, such a good idea :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!

It was super easy and I really like how it turned out!
DeleteThat base is so pretty and I like your spun sugar really cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I was really surprised how much I liked it. I just grabbed a nude color I hadn't used before and I really lucked out!
DeleteI love your idea of a 3D texture <3
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks! It was semi-intended but I love the finished look!
DeleteSuch an effective look for Halloween. Did you let the polish thicken first or apply it straight onto the base?
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks honey! I let it thicken a bit and tried to do the sugar spun method, which is where you let it thicken until it creates strings when you pull away from the polish. My strings kept breaking, but when I kept trying, it just globbed on! =)
DeleteIt looks much more interesting and "blood-like" that way :D Very cool ;)
ReplyDeleteAwesome looking mani! Really like it!
