Uh, who wouldn’t want a manicure that resembles dripping blood? That’s why I decided to modify this drip manicure with blood colors for Halloween like I’d seen on some other pins without tutorials.
(You write a tutorial, you get my link. Remember that, bloggers of the world.)

I tried the bobby pin thing as the instructional tutorial recommended, but I ended up just using the brush, honestly. I are lazy.
Turns out it paid off this time, though, because it kinda worked.
I vaguely considered telling you all that this is really actually how my nails looked after watching the debates last night, because I had to claw out my own eyes upon seeing more lies, patronization, fake grinning, and stupid hair. (And I am mostly directing that at both candidates… except for the stupid hair one.)
But I am a woman with needs, and my needs right now are a flexible work schedule so I can cook dinner for my husband every night and be available to pop out babies should the need arise, and also to be available in case some company needs a binder full of qualified women for something. To hell with equal pay for equal work. We really just want to be able to go home at 5 every day so we can finish the laundry. It’s true.
Anyway, my eyes are barely intact and my manicure is not real blood, so small blessings.
Is it December yet?

That actually looks cool. I mean YOUR manicure, not the Pinterest one. That´s too much color.
I can’t wait until December either. Until then, these pics will lighten your mood 🙂 http://bindersfullofwomen.tumblr.com/
cheekyweebrat Love that! I have spent far too much time there already and reblogged way a lot of their stuff on my Tumblr. 🙂
Success! Nailed it! What? Someone had to do the bad pun.
These nails go well with the images of sad animals and bloody meat on the the right. FREE ALL THE ANIMALS! Haha. No really, animal cruelty is no bueno.
I have no patience for doing my own nails – the left hand ends up looking okay and the the right hand is a blobby mess. Congrats on your intentionally bloody mess ^_^

SMILES!!!!
When I attempt to do my nails, it looks like I gave the nail polish to monkey on speed. When I enlist the husband in doing my nails, I usually get smiley faces painted on my fingers and toes and a couple drops of polish on the nails, so Kudos to you on your polishing ability.
also, I need to be in a “pay this lady lots of money for things she likes to do” binder, who’s with me?
I used to rock this mani all year long. Fuck Halloween, blood is ALWAYS in style!
I think I saw this manicure on an episode of Law and Order SVU. Except it was real blood. And it was used to ID the rapist.
It looks really good! Great job!

I think I like yours better than the pin.
The debates would be sooo much better if the candidates had to do them while doing South Park impersonations. Your nails on the other hand, look like something straight out of a horror movie; which is a good thing in this case.
Beautiful!
That is a bloody fantastic manicure! Second pun win.
It looks like you changed your tampon and forgot to wash your hands. Someone had to go there.
Emily1022 Gross… but I can’t help but like your comment. LOL
Thank god that you’re already married or your children would be fucked up! I’m sure having a mother with bloody nails isn’t going to affect them at all. I however, being a lesbian with 9 children, can’t get married so my children have no choice but to start doing drugs in a dark alley. Damn! I don’t even have bloody fingernails! I am a teacher too…how do you think mr. funny hair feels about that! I think between your nails and my lifestyle, we could quite possibly make his day!
omg I knew you were gonna say something about that. You know, I pretty much just buy my husband frozen pizzas so he can make his own dang dinner. I’d rather make money than dinner.
Trap her, Keep her >=] muahahahaha
I’m sorry – couldn’t hear a thing. I was too busy jabbing scissors in my ears. But from what I saw, your nails turned out faboo! LOVE them! Nice job! Maybe my husband will help me do mine tonight after I make him dinner. If I can get all this darn work done in time for half the pay, that is.
I’d say it looks like you are a very violent, but thorough, nose picker.
Oh, I love this! Also love very much your writing style.
I can’t even with the debates. The more I think about them, the more they upset me. The binder full of women, the “he said it was an act of terror,” the indecisive stance on abortion… well, I could go on but that’s not the point of this comment. Yea, the nails are really rad!
I think you nailed this one. As a nail tech I like to check Pinterest for fun nail designs, (as long as they are not too complicated!) I saw these bloody beauties and tried it at the shop on my sister but did not read the directions. So I blobbed polish along the tip and pushed it into drip formation with a dotting tool. It turned out well, which surprised me since it was more than lines and dots.

i believe your middle finger has a blood penis on it. And who wouldn’t want to flip someone off with a blood penis?
Would you be willing to test cleaning tips? I read about vinegar and water cleaning your microwave by simply steaming, then wiping. No scrubbing. I also read about dryer sheets cleaning baseboards and keeping them from getting dusty again. And last but not least, wax paper to shine stainless steel sink handles? Have you tried any of these yet?
That works f.y.i. !
I totally did the vinegar in the microwave thing and it worked BRILLIANTLY. My OCD cleaning friend made fun of my dirty ass microwave so I tried it- and lo & behold it is like new! 🙂
OMG! Haha! Totally just did this for Mani Monday (now I have to calm down, that was so much valley girl right there) http://www.curvesandcoffee.com/2012/10/there-will-be-blood.html …anywho, I never comment but love your site and tweet with you from time to time! Better get crackin’ on those turkey and christmas tree mani’s lol

for the original post, who has pastel blood? Either the Carebears were cutting off their fingertips to avoid identification in the Care-Cousin murders, or the fuckin Easter Bunny picked the wrong garbage disposal to hide an egg in.
