I saw the Revlon Colorstay in Bare Bones and I knew I just had to get it! What the perfect polish to use as the base for my Dexter splatter! Bare Bones is more of a cool tone beige. I thought it was just the right shade of "dead". I also picked up Velvet Rope which as just a smidge darker then a typical red. The application was great. I am really in love with the brush! It's one of those rounded but flat brushes. It covers the nail perfectly. This is a great idea for a simple Halloween mani as well!

Ahhhhhhh! I can't wait till Sunday!! If you watch Dexter be sure to let me know down below! I'll probably make a Facebook status on Monday so we can talk about the episode!
I love this! I'm planning on doing something for the season premiere as well, and I can only hope that it turns out at least half as good as this. I kinda suck at splatter manis.
ReplyDeleteYou will have to do a post so I can see how it turns out! I'm sure it will be great!
Deletehow'd you do the splatter? I've never seen one that I liked so much as this!
ReplyDeleteAll your going to do is paint your base color then apply vaseline or tape on the skin around you nails (it's a bit messy). Take a straw, cut it in half. I personally dip the straw into the polish and then blow it on the nails, one at a time. That's it! Then you clean up around your nails.
Deletewow these are awesome . havent tried splatter technique but you did such a good job on it.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I must do this mani for the upcoming episode! My bf would die for these lol!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome mani! My mom is obsessed with Dexter so I totally understand your excitement! Great job :)
ReplyDeletethese are freaking awesome! and I cannot wait for the season premiere of Dex ..i've never missed an episode yet! ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! Me either, I LOVE Dexter <3
DeleteTutorial tutorial!! Please, please pretty please, I can't do splatter, it always turned out like rain pricks rather than a splat.
ReplyDelete:D, Thanks for sharing! :)
One is in the works! Hopefully in about a week!
DeleteLove it! It turned out really good. I'm so stoked that our satellite company just started a special last week where they are offering Showtime for half price; now we can afford it and I don't have to miss Dexter! Can't wait until tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteAs a Dexter fan-girl, I have to say that 1. This manicure freakin' ROCKS!!! and 2. I was on the edge of my seat this past Sunday! The show was awesome, although I was kinda looking forward to that kinda weird, kinky idea of Dex and Deb doing the wild thing, but looks like that's on the back burner for now…
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for next Sunday!!!!!!!!!
