'Holly Day' by China Glaze

Hi! I will be starting a series of solid darker colors to accommodate the autumn weather. This is 'Holly Day' by China Glaze. This is a lovely forest green. I've also received a compliment calling it a rich money green :D This green looks dark green in the sunlight but is a deep dark green-almost black in indoor lighting. I hope you enjoy

Bloody Eyeballs

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my page! Continuing the Halloween theme, I did a bright red eye ball design! I hope you enjoy what you see :D
Scroll down to view this tutorial!


On your middle & ring finger create a circle with blue polish for the eye ball. Use a thin brush to create letter "Y's" X's" and "V's" for the red veins.

On your thumb, index and pinky finger create a red splatter effect for blood. Created by lines and dots.

You should have bloody nails and a blue eye ball with red veins 

Lastly, add a black circle inside of the blue circle for the pupil. Add a white circle in the bottom right of the black circle for a glare effect.

Tada! Bloody eyeball nails :D


Thanks for looking. Happy Halloween!
