Gathering Your Supplies
Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary supplies. You will need a base coat, a red nail polish, a thin nail art brush, a black nail polish, and a top coat. Additionally, have some nail polish remover and cotton pads on hand to clean up any mistakes.
Step 1: Preparing Your Nails
Begin by removing any old nail polish and shaping your nails to your desired length and shape. Then, apply a base coat to protect your nails from staining and to create a smooth surface for the nail polish to adhere to.
Step 2: Applying the Base Color
Once the base coat is dry, apply two coats of red nail polish to all your nails. Allow each coat to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 3: Creating the Blood Drips
Using a thin nail art brush dipped in black nail polish, carefully create blood drips on each nail. Start by drawing a curved line at the tip of your nail, extending it towards the center. Then, add smaller curved lines branching out from the main line to create the illusion of dripping blood. Vary the length and shape of the drips for a more realistic effect.
Step 4: Adding Depth and Texture
To add depth and texture to your blood drips, use the same thin nail art brush to add tiny black dots within the drips. This will create the illusion of coagulated blood. Be sure to leave some areas without dots to keep the design looking natural.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
Once your blood drips are dry, apply a generous layer of top coat to seal in your design and add shine. This will also help protect your Halloween nails and make them last longer.
Final Thoughts
