DIY: Blood Spatter Manicure

I first saw this tutorial at Gothic Charm School over a year ago. Since then, I've been dying to try it myself. If you want to look like you just dipped your finger tips on blood, then this look is for you. It's surprisingly simple too!


First, I painted my nails white in order for the red to stand out more. This is not necessary. A clear or nude coat would word just as well. 

After you let the base coat dry, brush the red polish just on the tips in a half crescent shape. This does not have to look perfect.

Then, you will be needing a toothpick. Dip the toothpick in the red polish, and dab on the paint in your desired pattern. 

Now, you're finished! There's really nothing else to it.

I'm not sure when I will do this, but probably somewhat soon. What do you guys think?

It's been a decade since I first got into goth music and subculture. And, with my tongue firmly stuck to my cheek, I observe how I am  still  a baby bat! I'm young enough to still be called a "baby" at shows and club nights yet old enough to recall, with deep nostalgia, vying for a spot directly in front of the stage at my first Peter Murphy show nearly 10 years ago at a now-relocated venue in Atlanta... I also remember with fondness—and some embarrassment—writing a cliché poem for Peter Murphy, referring to him as the "original Bat." And, instead of keeping it to myself, I actually threw the typed poem up onto the stage directly following the show, hoping he'd pick it up and keep it in his breast pocket. Ah, the folly of youth! I don't recall there ever being this many bands of the goth or goth-adjacent persuasion playing in Atlanta since I got into the subculture. That's not to say there weren't plenty of bands playing this city. I only f...
