Crime Scene Nails

Happy Halloween everyone! These blood-splatter crime scene nails are perfect to freak anyone out tomorrow night on Halloween. And the best part is, they are actually quite easy to do!! I hope you enjoy this design.

Step 1

Use a base coat to protect your natural nails

Step 2

Paint your nails two coats of white

Step 3

On your little and middle finger, paint the tip of a straw with red nail varnish and blow out through the straw to create blood splatters

Step 4

Paint one of your finger pads with red nail varnish. Dab your finger once on a sheet of paper to remove the excess. Then dab your finger onto your index finger nail to create a finger print

Step 5

For your thumb, Dip a dotting tool into red polish. Create a dot half way down your nail. Raise the dotter a small bit and drag it up your nail towards your cuticle. Do this another one or two times to create dripping blood. Join each drop by your cuticle with a striper.

Step 6

For your thumb, dip a dotter into red and create a 'c' shape for the palm of a hand. Dip a toothpick into red and create 2-3 dots for each finger

Step 7

Seal in your design with a topcoat

I hope you enjoyed this very bloody design. Have a great Halloween everyone!!

Step 4

Paint French tips on the rest of your nails 

Step 5

Use your pink striper to create a thin line under your French tips

Step 6

Seal in with a topcoat

One Direction Nails

So some of you may know how obsessed I am with One Direction, and I was lucky enough to see them in concert on Friday in Dublin! The most amazing thing happened...Liam read out my poster, blew me a kiss and we were shown on the big screen!!!!! It was the best night of my entire life! I could talk for ages about the concert, but let's just get into the design.

Step 1

Start off with a base coat

Step 2

Paint all your nails white

Step 3

Use a thin black striper to create two small vertical lines in the centre of your ring finger nail.

Step 4

Create another small line, diagonal to the top of the left line to create the '1'

Step 5

Using the striper again, create a tiny horizontal line on each end of the other vertical line. Then create a sideways 'v' shape to finish off the 'D'

Step 6

Dip a straw into a bottle of black nail varnish. Place the straw over a blank white nail and blow through the straw. The paint will 'splatter' onto your nail. Repeat on all your remaining nails

Step 7

Seal in your design with a top coat.

This design is perfect for anyone obsessed with 1D like I am. I hope you enjoy this tutorial and give it a go!
