Before I started blogging, the only manicures I really took pictures of were my Halloween ones. They were never intended for anyone elses eyes, but I thought it might be fun to recreate a couple of them, and hopefully see that I've improved over the last year!
The first of these is blood spatter. Here is this years manicure.
Beauty UK White and OPI Got The Blues For Red. Last years nails weren't technically splatter nails, as I just painted the red on!
Still quite bloody looking! I remember being really happy with these at the time, although I think this years nails are definitely better!
I also recreated these nails in January, for the new 31DC.
I prefer my most recent ones. Should I have this many bloody manicures? Maybe not! But it is an easy, effective technique.
Oooh I love them-especially this year's, that blood colour is perfect!
ReplyDeleteDid you just splatter these with a straw?
Thank you!
DeleteYes, I just used a 'normal' sized drinking straw.
I love this years!! It looks like real blood!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! GTBFR is my go to blood colour lol
DeleteLove these, I've done some sketches for Halloween designs but none as cool as this!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI find they're a pretty easy way to get a good effect!
Never too many bloody manicures! Looks great. I'm going to have to try the normal sized straw. I really like the thicker splatters.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I only ever seem to have regular straws around lol
Deleteomg! this is so scary but... I bloody :) like it! a perfect idea for halloween nailart!
ReplyDeleteThese are great, good improvement! I can't do the straw technique, end up hyperventilating! Lol!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I have a bit of trouble using a 'puddle' of polish - I now just dip the straw straight in the bottle, and i find it works very well for me!
