Blood in the Water
Monday, September 13, 2010
A while back, I did a tribute to Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds', and new reader Carol P. suggested that I do a Psycho themed manicure. Of course I thought this was a great idea- so I did it!! :) 2010 marks 50 years since the release of this iconic movie, so it's a great time to do it- plus, since it's not too long until Halloween, so what better time? Fun fact: The 'blood' that goes down the drain in the shower scene is actually chocolate syrup! Should I have used brown polish instead of red?! :-D
I used Essie Bone Chilling White as a base, with China Glaze Millennium for the drain, and American Apparel Hassid for the hole in the drain. For the blood, I used A Beautiful Life Poison to marble over the white. :) Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.
REE! REE! REE! REE! REE! REE!

This is really cool! I love your marbling - I tried marbling for the first time yesterday, and while it turned out fairly cool it does not look quite as much like real marbling, as yours does. I love the effect. Very nice!

this is amazing. I remember when I first saw Psycho- what a great horror flick, and so much to dissect in terms of literary meanings. Sometimes water marbling is just the right way to make a theme work :-)
ReplyDeleteDid you see my DOTS design? dunno if you've been on but I figured it might go hand in hand with your Nerds one .... :-) http://www.ForYourNailsOnly.blogspot.com

Nice!! I like the b&w look.
ReplyDeleteGross!! I didn't know the chocolate syrup fact. Now I'm going to want ice cream when I see that scene...
ReplyDeleteno offense, but i sort of thought it was a bloody fish. i think it's because i just haven't seen psycho. (even though my godfather's dad was Anthony Perkins- no lie)
