Dracula Nails

I had a few friends tag me in a really cute nail series video that contained Dracula and his wife.  See the video here.  I decide to create my own interpretation.


For this nail art, it was actually pretty simple.

  • Start with a base coat and then paint your nails a pinkish purple.  I used Essie Playdate.  I would say that this color is a little darker than the one in the video.
  • Then begin painting Dracula and his wife.  I started by painting the hair with a black nail art brush.  
  • For the eyes, I used a variety of dotting tools.  First, red for Dracula.  Then, black.  Finish off with teeny dot of white.  I framed his eyes with eyebrows.  For Dracula's wife's eyes, I used a white dotting tool, and then black.  I created lashes and eyebrows with a black nail striper.
  • The noses were simple - just paint an "L' shape with the striper.  
  • For the final part of the design, I painted a black curved line for Dracula's mouth and two white marks for fangs.  Mrs. Dracula was a little more complicated.  To make the lips, I created the outline in red and then filled them in.  I finished with two flags and a tiny black beauty mark.
  • Finally, seal with a top coat.
Ta Da!
