ONE ARMED ZOMBIE NURSE
I redid my costume and made it look much better (imo). What do you all think? Could anything have been different or better? By the way, this is for a Halloween contest, so ignore the sign you see in the photo. (there's tons more in my album) The old version can be found: One-armed Zombie Nurse
This is not a store bought costume by the way.

WOW!! nice improvements. You really have the goo factor going on. Nice work. Let us know how the contest went for ya.

Drayvan: thanks and I sure will. However, I'm going to enter more than one contest lol *fingers-crossed*

i hope you win that took along time to finish

sonicvomit: me too. My face burns as a result of trying to remove it all.

Thanks for the comments guys I entered 4 contests, I hope it wins at least one
Here's a tip for you all that use liquid latex and face paint on the face: If you try to scrub it off, never never NEVER use make-up remover to get it off. It comes off super easy with it, but never scrub your face first. I found out first hand last night. My face still burns a little from it. Bad experience.

bloodiest costume ever!

I did a zombie one year and instead of the liquid latex I used unflavored Knox geletin (it dries faster so you have to work quicker). Didn't seem to burn like the latex. I couldn't tell from your pic, but one thing I did was to pull a piece down so it looked like peeling skin, then I'd cover the inside part with blood. But think you've done an outstanding job.

aero4ever: Thanks. The latex didn't burn, except when I first tested it. I think when I was scrubbing to get the face paint off (soap wasn't working), it irritated the skin and then the make-up remover just made it worse even though it came right off with it. It's like a bad sun burn ha. As for the skin peeling, I think he (my husband) unrolled a cotton ball and put latex on it and made it look like a gash. The one on my head was from some kind of wax that was in a make-up kit. Although their fake blood sucked. It turned pink, so we used red paint and rice to look like maggots
P.S. I looove your signature.

shawnawitch: lol thanks
