Halloween is one of our favorite holidays and thus, the timing couldn’t have been better to recreate this deliciously daring DIY for our phalanges. Though a more vampy, burgundy color went down the runway, I went for more vibrant red . . . but the best part about this tutorial is that you can make it your own with just about any color, for any season!

Create two to three more tapered lines, re-dipping the toothpick into the polish each time. Reload the toothpick with polish and drag a line across the tip of the nail.

Normandlou. Okay, I admit it. Nail Art is just totally Cool. If you find yourselves in one of those situations when you have absolutely crap-all to do, attempting some nail art is probably a good idea. I do declare that there are a few rules however! 1) Nothing too fancy. This is not a trend to be taken too seriously but you don’t want it to look like something threw up all over your nails either. If you can do a basic French manicure, I’d stick to something similar to the image above. 2) No long hoochie nails. 3) If you feel confident enough to crack on with some more tricky styles but need some guidelines, check out the video tutorials I’ve provided at the bottom of this post. 4) If you have no frick’n idea what you’re doing, get them done professionally.
