It's A Bloodly Mess!!!

One of my favorite things to do is a splatter mani, and I love blood splatters the most!! Halloween would not be complete without one. Here is mine for the holiday season :)

I started out with 1 coat of Circus 'Reverso' which is the awesome white polish from my last post.

I seriously love this polish an am on the look out to get another bottle! I could have done 2 coats but just the one served it's purpose. Since I have the french tip CNS nails (Custom Nail Solutions) I usually need a base coat unless the polish is darker. So I just use 1 coat to give me a staring point.

This is what I ended up with: (please excuse the slight tip wear on a few nails. I wasn't able to take pictures right after doing my nails so I did them as soon as I could.

 Left Hand: I used a coffee stirrer as the straw. I really like how this one turned out.

 Right hand. I didn't want to go over board and make them really "bloody" so I tried to keep it to 1 or 2 blows per finger and a 3rd one here and there.

 For the blood I actually mixed two polishes together. I really wanted the red to sparkle. I liked the color of Spoiled 'Pick Your Poison' and the sparkle/glitter in NYC 'Broadway Burgundy Frost. It's a little hard to see the sparkle in the pictures but it is much more noticeable in person.

I think that mani turned out pretty darn good!!! I hop you like it as much as I do. I am hoping to have another post up tomorrow. Thanks for reading and please let me know what you think!!!

Spotted Beach Cruiser

So for today's mani i forgot to take a picture of the base color on it's own, but you can still see it pretty well. I believe that this will be my first post showing out of new Custom Nails. I think they are the best investment I've made in a long time. If you would like to know more about them you can check out their website: Custom Nail Solutions.

I started out with 2 coats of China Glaze "Beach Cruiser" which is from last years summer neons collections. I really loved that collection and I made sure to get backups of my favorite ones :)

 I then topped "Beach Cruise-r" with 2 coats of All That Glitters "Spotty Dottie Dark" which is just a matte black glitter mix. I got this as a gift along with "Spotty Dottie Light" in a gift exchange a little bit ago.

 I decided that I still needed something at that point so I applied another polish on top...

I recently picked this polish up from Target. This is a very sheer polish and I don't think it would become opaque very easy, so I think it works best as a topper.

 Bongo "Sweet Cheeks" is a very sheer pink with a blue iridescence. I think this is what really made the mani. I love how it turned out even though I failed at taking pictures of each step. But in the long run I got the pictures that mattered :)

 What do you think of this mani? Do you think it needs something else? or something less?

Thank you so much for reading. I have a review post coming up shortly so stay tuned for that! Have a great Sunday afternoon.
