Today I’m throwing it back to my nail blogger roots with a nail art tutorial. For those of you who don’t know, my blog started as a nail blog (hence the nail pun name!) and painting my nails is still one of my favourite ways to relax. Whenever I’m lacking inspiration, leopard print nail art is always my go-to look so it was a no-brainer when I asked on Instagram if people would like to see some quick nail art tutorials.
I was sent some of the new CND Vinylux Boho Spirit range of long wear polishes and I fancied trying them out so here is my first bit of nail art in a while – a summery minimalist nail art look.
Last week’s nail art tutorial seemed to go down well so I thought I would do another one. This week’s is a tutorial for dripping blood nails. These are quick, easy and look brilliant.
You will need: base coat; white nail varnish; red nail varnish; and top coat.
Step one: Apply base coat and two coats of white polish.
Step two: Decide where you want your drips to go and put drops of red nail varnish to mark the spots.
Step three: Join up the dots with red polish and add some further drips.
Step four: Add some lines of white polish to make the blood look wet. Put the lines wherever the light would catch it. Top coat away and you are done! Easy peasy!
What do you think of these gory nails? Will you try this manicure?

After someone on the internet pinched a photo of my nail art and did their own tutorial for it, I thought I would do some of my own! *shakes fist at stupid internet photo stealers*
Leopard print is my go-to nail art when I have no time or am feeling totally uninspired. These photos are pretty self-explanatory but here are a few steps so you can recreate this at home:
And you’re done! Let me know what other tutorials you would like to see from me?
(Also please ignore the blurriness of that photo, I don’t know what happened there…!)
