How to create this spooky Halloween design with bloody hands:
-
Apply your base color. For this design, a silver nail polish was chosen, but of course, you can choose any color you like. This design stands out best on a lighter background color.
-
Wait until your nail polish is surface dry. This takes about 10 minutes. Then apply another layer of nail polish.
-
Wait at least 15 minutes before stamping the design. Here, use red stamping polish.
-
With the brush from the red nail polish, after wiping most of the polish off in the bottle so the brush is almost dry, make light strokes on the nail.
-
Create your other designs, as shown here where a black stamping polish is used.
-
Then apply a thin layer of water-based topcoat – this is to ensure your regular topcoat doesn't smear the stamping.
-
Wait about 5 minutes.
-
Finish with your favorite topcoat.
Designs used are from Moyra 83 – Fall In Love and 126 Witchcraft.
Tip: For longer-lasting wear of your design, you can advantageously apply an extra layer of topcoat. Always remember to seal the tip of your nail.
