This is Halloween Nail Art Challenge October 1: Horror Movies

Okay here is my first try at public nail art. It's not the best, but I only recently decided to participate in this challenge and it actually happens to honor my favorite horror film -- Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds.

The first time I watched The Birds was during some sort of AMC 30 Days of Halloween marathon. I was home alone and completely sick with a cold. During a particularly suspenseful scene, I realized that I was suddenly gasping for breath because I had literally forgotten to breathe. No gross out moments, just really amazing suspense that builds throughout the film.

Sorry in advance for the crappy photography. I really wanted to make sure I started the challenge on time so I was rushing last night.

Here are the colors I used:

From left to right: Misa Grey Matters; OPI Skull & Glossbones; China Glaze Sea Spray; Zoya Dovima.

I started off with one coat of Grey Matters and added on Skull & Glossbones and Sea Spray in a sort of haphazard manner to mimic a gloomy day by the water.

Then I used a dotting tool and Dovima to create my little birds.

Watch out they might come and get you!
