Bloodlust

I've been rather angry the past month, and I watched some Walking Dead last night, which helped inspired this manicure.  I call it "Bloodlust."



I used Sinful Colors's Snow Me White for the basecoat (I don't really like Sinful Colors.  Especially this particular bottle - it never goes on evenly), with Essie's A-List, Sinful Colors's Rich In Heart, and Savvy's Ruby Slippers.

This was one of the first mani's I've done since I started living in the dorms, so I was unprepared for it.  I forgot, apparently, to pack my straw for splattering. I was searching through my room, and I found Capri Suns, so I just took the straw out of one and used that for the mani.  It worked better than I thought it would!

This is going to sound nuts, but I like to keep some of the red on my fingers to add some effect.  I smudged my righthand fingers pretty badly, but I guess if the blood were real it would probably not be perfectly smooth.

P.S. Sorry for the hiatus!  Hopefully, I will have some more time to post more often!
