blood drips.

IMG_0590IMG_0610IMG_0592IMG_0607IMG_0614

Took a note from Prabal Gurung's SS 2013 bloody nail trend (Exhibit A) for Halloween this year and realized that blood drips are harder to create than you'd think. Anyway, matched my blood red nails with deep red lipstick to go with my sexy señorita costume, which accompanied my handsome rose wielding Zorro. Sticking with the predominantly mentioned colour in this post, we'll go paint the town in that shade too.

Happy Halloween everyone!

[ Ciaté velvet nails in Berry Poncho ]

Trying out new beauty trends is always fun. In this case, a textured velvet mani by Ciaté in a rich plum colour. The whole concept is very interesting as it gives people the chance to wear a texture on your fingertips. I bought my kit at Sephora in Vancouver where they have a royal blue and matte grey colour available as well. The whole application takes time but dusting your nails with a salt shaker of crushed velvet powder keeps things entertaining.
Happy Labour Day!
