Zombie Snot - you asked for it!

Nails I Love

FRANKENING ….. Zombie Snot !!  Achoooo!

Hi Goddesses

A couple of weeks ago, I posted my Zombie Blood mani for PAA, and quite a few people (the legendary Nail Nerd included) commented that it also looked a lot like a zombie had sneezed on my nails J  Beth found this hilarious, and when we next sat down to franken, her only answer to the question of “what shall we make” was “Zombie Snot” !

Lol .. I’d love to blame it all on her, really I would, but I, the adult, was with her every step of the way J  You can see the concoction is quite transparent on the nail, like real snot, and the glitter *could* be bogies, right ?

We started with an opalescent Essence mini varnish and added about 5 drops of China Glaze Starboard to it.  I’m really pleased how this blended – exactly the right sort of gruesome colour.  We then added a gulp of 2 KleanColors – Peaceful Heart (a clear greeny jelly with large glitter peces) and Firework, an intense glitterbomb of gold, turquoise and orange.

I then played around some more, as you do, and layered the snot over some greeny colours – OPI Stranger Tides, Starboard, Zoya Dree and Color Club Twiggie.

I really like how it turned out as a layering polish.

So what’s your favourite – Zombie Snot, or Zombie Blood lol ?

Enjoy xx achooo J

Top Tip – if you’re ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give you plenty of contrasts and compares.

Nail Fun

ZOMBIE BLOOOOOOD!

Hi Goddesses

This Monday was Green for Depression Awareness Month in PAA (ooh it makes it sound like class lol!) and I was going to do something sophisticated, but then the Hallowe’en buzz caught me, and I ended up with …..

Zombie Blood lol!!  This is basically a green splatter mani, as messy as you like, with some vile greens in there!

The base is a goodie – OPI Stranger Tides – and it’s topped with 2 foul Color Club greens lol that I got for free and would never wear on their own, a mini Color Club glitter from a couple of years ago (Under The Mistletoe) and the darker one is Zoya DREE.

I love splatter manis, and even when I’m reading blogs, they are some of my favourite posts.  I’m not sure I’m quite as artistic at them tho as some girls, partly because I can’t find the thin straws, and so every so often, I get a nail that just gets covered from tip to base in the polish I am hoping to splatter.  Don’t believe me ?  Go on, I dare you to find some Stranger Tides in all that gunk!!

I also for the first time (and only with the Dree) used Sarah Waite’s tip (Chalkboard Nails).  She splatters using a hair grip.  I dipped it in the bottle and blew, and it either made thinner splatters (cool) or landed on my lip cos I got too close when I blew lol!  At least with a straw you can see where you’re aiming, with the grips, you can’t, but I do prefer the result.

Another thing I learnt today – glitter is hard to splatter.  A lot of the glitter you see on my nail I had to blob on.  Not so good.  AND it’s a bitch to clean up.  Not going there again, nuh uh.

So, Zombie Blood – evil ra ra ra ha ha ha Hallowe’en laugh ….

Enjoy J
