Hello there lovely readers!
So October is here at last in all its glory goodness which
means one thing in my book...Halloween manicures! Amongst other stuff
sure but yeah...its all about the Halloween nail funness to be
had...until Xmas arrives that is! You can check out the Halloween
manis I did last year HERE.
I thought for my first Halloween themed
mani I'd go down the dripping blood route which is always fun...with
a slight twist using an image I remember seeing on Instagram yonks
ago using the Chanel symbol. So here we have some Chanel-esque
dripping blood nails...
So my loves it turns out that free
handing two backwards C's is actually pretty darn hard didn't ya
know? So hopefully you can at least figure out that it was the Chanel
symbol I was attempting here haha!
First up let me mention this absolutely
scrummy nude base colour for my mani, Nina Ultro Pro in Rum &
Reggae. I found this brand in Sally’s recently, on sale for just a
few squids & there’s nothing I love more than trying a new
brand of polish! And this does not disappoint, smooth formula, great
brush & perfect application in two coats in the loveliest creamy
beige I think it may be my new favourite nude!
I then grabbed a nail art brush &
used OPI's I Sing In Color from the LE Gwen Stefani range. This also
happens to be another bargain sale buy from Sally's. Whenever I pass
one I always pop in to visit the sale section to hunt down any
prettys! I Sing In Color is a stunning vampy red black brown gloss,
perfect for blood tones...
After (rather abysmally) drawing my
Chanel C's I then just used a dotting tool & some more of the OPI
& added on 3 drips to each nails plus a few extra blood droplets.
Finish with a coat of topcoat for
shine. I definitely need to practice my free handing C's but overall
I'm still pretty chuffed! Can't wait to roll out some more Halloween
manis! Will you be going all ghoulish on your nails? Thanks for
reading!
Lotsa love to ya!
