True Blood inspired gradient mani!

I'm so happy that True Blood is about to start back up!  Honestly, I didn't get into it until the last season was almost over.  I'm completely addicted.  So much that I read all the books after watching every episode then just recently watched every episode again!

I like all the guys, but Eric is just RAWR!

Instagram pic of what I used.  KleanColor - Blood, WnW Fantasy Makers - Vamp Red, Essence Vampire's Love - Hunt Me If You Can.  I wanted to stick with a vampire theme, and these were the best ones. :D

I started off with 2 coats of KC Blood & a top coat.  Let that dry for a bit & brushed some WnW Vamp Red onto a dry sponge then sponged it on about 2/3 of my nail.  I didn't really let that dry long before I used the same method to apply Essence HMIYC to my tips.  I finished with a top coat of Sally Hansen InstaDri.

I wanted to do something better/different, but there's NO way I was going to attempt to do any nail art at 3am.  This is also the first full mani that I've done in about a month.  I've got some cute stuff coming up next week too, but wanted to share this before season 5 starts back up. :D
