Tutorial - The Dexter Manicure

I've been watching season 8 of Dexter lately so that I can finally watch the rest of the series. With my Dexter marathons and Halloween sneaking up on us; I couldn't help but be inspired to paint my nails bloody. I think I shall call these the Dexter Manicure! We've done a tutorial on blood splatter nails but this time we're going to do a dripping blood look.


This is the look we're going for


You will need:
-White Nail Polish
-Red Nail Polish (preferably with a thin brush. Not necessary though)
-Quick Dry Top Coat
-Cotton Swab


Paint nails white, I had to do 2 coats


You don't need to use white but the contrast of white & red are my favourite


Paint drips as long thin or thick lines


Alternate in drip lengths


Paint the tips of your nails like a french manicure


I decided to keep the tips thin so there there would be a good amount of space for the splatter effect


Randomly dot your nails to begin to add a splatter look


Take the cotton swab and lightly dab randomly to give it even more splatter. Make sure your nails are dry and then apply top coat.


There you have it! Spooky bloody nails & Crystal Head Vodka ;)

Tutorial - Halloween Nails

If you're one of those people who just cannot find the time between carving pumpkins, making costumes and decorating your house for Halloween you might appreciate these nails so much as I did. As you can see I have two very broken nails but I managed to find a manicure that worked anyways.


Simple Halloween silhouettes


Supplies needed:
-Halloween themed nail stickers. I got mine from the dollar store
-Nail polish: any colour
-Quick dry top coat


Apply base colour. I did two coats


Prepare nail stickers


Instructions are very straight forward


As you can see I used the stickers for one hand and there's plenty left. I can probably do the same manicure next Halloween.


Apply top coat.


Done!


Super easy and quick. I don't imagine these stickers staying on my nails for long seeing that some of the corners of the stickers wouldn't stay down. However, I'm not complaining.

Skater Dress Obsession

Ever since winning a Black Milk cat skater dress...I've been obsessed. I was inspired to make my own skater dresses and I'm so excited about them. Yeap, made more than one. With my fabric inventory - I've produced an obscene amount of them. Here's the first one I made:


Lipgloss & Black Matte Black Skater Dress, Lipgloss & Black Ribcage Garters, Jeffrey Campbell Clinic wedges

It's made out of Bamboo knit and is incredibly soft. It's love but there's so much more to come!

Ribcage Garters

I've been obsessed with making garters recently. One of the first pairs that I made back in the summer was a ribcage garter. I have yet to offer it for sale but it's definitely one of my favourite designs.


Ribcage Garter by Lipgloss & Black and Jeffrey Campbell Clinic Boots


Mini Skull Leggings by Black Milk Clothing


Skeleton Gloves and Syringe Pen from Dollarama - haha (Love that place for all Halloween needs)


City & Colour tee

What do you think? Would you rock this trend?
