Halloween Blood Watermarble Nails With Bettina Julietta And LA Spash Red Sea

Another Sunday Funday for all! I hope you you're enjoying the rest of your weekend.  Any spooky pre Halloween plans today? I'm doing some regular weekend cleaning and then later heading down to the OC to pick up my dad.  I may or may not stop at the nail supply...  Afterwards, we plan on resting up for the work week!

Last year I did only one Halloween nail art post and that was a bloody splatter mani that was clearly my newbie attempt at nail art. I'm still no expert but I've definitely picked up some trick such as watermarbling.  I plan on using that technique today to bring you an updated version of that original bloody manicure.  I used Bettina Julietta as my nude and LA Splash Red Sea as my blood to do a basic watermarble.  Of note, the Bettina had easy and opaque coverage when I used a layer of it as my base color.  This is finished with some accent dotting and topcoat.

This still has a bloody appearance to it but with some extra artistic eye appeal.  The only downside is that it doesn't have as much drama as a splatter mani.  Instead it has a subdued gory effect.  Of the two styles, which do you prefer?
