Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use nail stickers instead of painting the skulls?

Yes, nail stickers are a great alternative if you're not comfortable with freehand painting.

What kind of red polish should I use for the blood drips?

A glossy, slightly sheer red polish will create the most realistic blood drip effect.

How long will this design last?

With proper care and maintenance, this design can last up to 2 weeks.

Can I do this design on short nails?

Yes, but the skulls and drips may need to be smaller and more simplified.

Is it necessary to use a gel top coat?

A gel top coat will provide a longer-lasting and more durable finish, but a regular top coat will also work.

How can I make the blood drips look more realistic?

Vary the thickness and length of the drips, and add small splatters for a more organic look.
