Dracula Nail Art


This tutorial shows how to create a Dracula/vampire nail design for Halloween :)

1)

For this tutorial you will need four colours; black, white, nude and dark red. I used (l-r): MUA #2, MUA All Nude, MUA #18, Barry M #222 Red Wine.

2)

Begin by painting two thin coats of your nude shade on all of your nails

3)

Then, take your black varnish and carefully paint an arch at the bottom of your nail, leaving the side edges slightly pointed.

4)

To create Dracula's hair, then use your black varnish to paint a triangle extending from the arch, it should look like an M/W once you have done this.

5)

Next, use your white polish to carefully paint two circular shaped blobs for the eyes.

6)

Then using your black polish dab two little dots in the centre of the white circles to finish the eyes, then paint a thin line just over half way down the nail.

7)

Using your white varnish again, carefully paint these two triangle shapes extending from the black line to create the fangs. Make sure there isn't any excess polish on your brush to help with accuracy. 

8)

The final step is to use your red shade to dab two blood spots on the tip of each fang. These can be randomly shaped so I find it best to just dab your brush down and go with whatever shape comes out.
Repeat these steps on all of your nails or try one Dracula accent nail and check out my Blood Manicure for your other nails for a cool design :)

And this is the finished Dracula nail art design:
