Deadly Gruesome Manicures

The DIY Blood Splatter Nails are a Halloween Gore Fest

— October 22, 2011 — Fashion
Horror fans and fabulous fashionistas alike, prepare yourself to be blown away by the terrifically terrifying and impressive DIY Blood Splatter Nails from Refinery 29. The gruesome designs are enough to make any Dexter fan proud, with an ultra-convincing bloody look that hopefully doesn't make you too squeamish!

Using a basic white lacquer, any red nail polish (preferably of a lower price, as you will be using a lot of it), a clear top coat, a straw and tape, you'll be sporting this glamorously grim look in under an hour. The tip to achieving this awesome DIY manicure is to cover the area around your nails with tape, so you're able to splatter on the red polish without getting your hands messy. The marbling effect caused by the splattering of the polish is incredibly chic, and can easily be done with other colors year-long.

This legitimately spooky look is sure to turn heads this Halloween, so check out the wicked DIY Blood Splatter Nails and don't be afraid to experiment.
