Let’s get bloody!

You only need to choose a nail polish that matches your skin tone and a bloody red polish for the blood effect. This will create an illusion like your blood is dripping right from your cuticles.

Easy 1-2-3 steps with the help of a dotting tool, make four dots and connect them to the tips of your nails, and voila~~ you have that bloody nails look! But of course, you need to apply a top coat, okay?
