This Halloween nail art tutorial shows you how to create realistic blood drips on a nude base. Using only a dotting tool and burgundy polish, you can achieve a teardrop effect that looks like dripping blood. Finish with a topcoat for a polished, frightening manicure.
Directions
- Start by filing your nails into your desired shape and applying a nude base coat as a foundation.
- Take a dotting tool and dip the larger end into a burgundy nail polish to pick up a small bead of color.
- Place the bead of polish near the cuticle area, then let it drip naturally down the nail. Gently drag it to the tip so it forms a teardrop shape, resembling a blood drip.
- Allow the design to dry completely before sealing everything with a clear topcoat for a glossy finish.
