Red Blood Drip Design

  1. Begin by taking an opaque nude or off-white polish and apply one coat evenly to each nail, going with a polish shade that best suits the skintone.
  2. Once your nails are dry, have your favorite dark red polish on hand. This will be used it to create this blood drip design.
  3. To make this design easier to execute, use a nail dotting tool to begin to place red dots onto the nail bed. These dots will ideally be placed where you would like the blood drips to end. You can have a little fun with this and vary these dots from nail-to-nail, since we are not wanting these drips to be uniform looking. 
  4. From here, begin to drag up the excess color from the dot with a thin line brush. These lines do not have to be straight by any means, and are better if they are a little messier on the way up.
  5. Once you have the look dragging up, connect these blood drips from side to side along the top portion of your nail.
  6. After your drips have been formed, fill them in with your dark red polish to achieve the full effect.
  7. Finish off with a top coat.

Black and White Pinstripes 

  1. After cuticle care, shape nails into an almond shape.
  2. Apply two coats of black polish and allow dry time in between coats to ensure an even polish application
  3. Once these have dried, take a thin brush and apply a straight white line in the middle of your nail by dragging the brush from bottom to top, repeating this step on the left and right side of your nail bed.
  4. Complete these same steps on the rest of your nails, and add a second coat of white polish to make that pinstripe effect pop.
  5. Finish off with a top coat for the perfect glossy effect.

Black with Accent Star 

  1. After cuticle care, shape nails in an almond shape.
  2. Applying two coats of black polish to each of your nails aside from your ring finger.
  3. Next take the nude polish that fits the skintone best, and apply two coats to the ring finger. 
  4. After the polish is dry, take a thin brush with black polish and draw an upside down triangle, leaving the bottom of the triangle open ended.
  5. Repeat this step by drawing a sideways triangle in the middle of the nail bed, and finish by connecting the triangles together to complete the star.
  6. Finish off the look with a top coat.
