Crime Scene Nails

These ones were tricky to get the blood splatter to ‘splatter’ right, but I managed with a combination of a straw and a can of compressed air.  I also think I should have used OPI – I’m Not Really A Waitress instead of Nicole by OPI – OMB!  just because ‘OMB!’ has a pink look to it rather than the deep red that ‘I’m Not Really A Waitress’ has.  The reason why I didn’t go with ‘Waitress’ was because my bottle is almost empty and has thickened so much over the years that I didn’t think it would ‘splatter’ well.  Although, I guess I could have thinned it out…it probably would have been much better to work with.

Polish used:
OPI – Natural Nail Base Coat
Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear – Celeb City

Since Halloween is creeping up, I thought it would be fun to start my Halloween manicures.  Plus, I wanted to have fun with my new matte top coat.  Matte nails look awesome in person, especially when you are used to shinny nails.  It’s a big difference and a nice change.
