Dead Inside

I know Halloween is over, but as far as I'm concerned, zombie nails are always fair game.  Especially when The Walking Dead is still on tv! 

I received these blood splatter studs form LadyQueen in exchange for an honest review.  The studs also come with other colors splattered on them, but I really like the red since it looks like blood splatter.  I also like that the splatter is natural.  Each stud is different, with different levels of paint, so some studs are all red with darker red splatter, while some are still white with red splatter.  The studs are about 5mm in size and you get 20 of them!  These are definitely a fun alternative to solid colored studs and I highly recommend them.

I don't usually use any of the latex skin protectors or anything, but for splatter nails, it might be worth using.  It was a pain cleaning up the mess.  To create this look:

1. Apply a white base color.
   
2. Use a makeup sponge to dab on red polish.
   
3. Use a straw to create blood splatter.  Dip one end of the straw into the polish bottle, then blow over the nail.  Be sure to have a piece of paper under your hand unless you want polish everywhere.
   
4. Stamp the zombie designs using Rich in Heart - Rick's silhouette on the middle, and "Dead Inside" on the ring finger.
   
5. Create a diagonal section of white to the index and pinky, using white polish and a nail vinyl or striping tape.
   
6. Add a blood splatter stud to the base of the index and pinky.
