Bloody Hallowe'en Nails

This year for Halloween, I am going as one of the Grady twins from The Shining with my friend Jess. The costume involves some serious creepiness and blood so I decided to try out some spooky, drippy bloody nails to push it to the next level.
For these nails, I used Deborah Lippmann's Waking up in Vegas as the base colour. This polish is a-ma-zing. If applied properly, only a single coat is required! Plus, Lippmann polishes have the longest lasting wear I have ever encountered. Overall - a solid laquer!
I painted the bloody drips using a tiny craft paintbrush and OPI's Quarter of a Cent-Cherry - the perfect blood red! (The photograph above shows the red slightly darker than it truly is)


The nails completed the costume perfectly - we scared ourselves every time we looked in the mirror!
