Hi Everyone, Today I'm going to be showing you a simple technique to recreate this Fingerprint nail design
Perfect for Halloween if you're planning on dressing up as a criminal or a detective
If you like this design please give it a thumbs up and share it with your friends
Let me know in the comments what you are dressing up as for Halloween this year and Also checkout my Halloween playlist linked below for more Halloween designs
As always start with base coat to protect your nails
Get your nail polishes ready and have them both opened before application
We need to do the technique while both the nail polishes are still wet
Apply the lighter colors onto half of the nail, make sure you get a generous amount of nail polish and not just a thin layer
Then apply the second color to the other half of the nail leaving no gaps in between
If you get any of the first color onto the brush, make sure to wipe the brush clean before putting it back in the bottle to prevent the colors from mixing together
While both the colors are still Wet, quickly grab an orange stick or a toothpick, and start drawing a spiral starting from the middle of the nail
gradually expand the swirl, layer by layer until you get to the side of the nails
how awesome does that look and so easy to do
If you get any spillage onto the cuticles, just use a nail wipe and remove it before the nail polish dries for a quick cleanup
Notice that when I did a clockwise swirl the intersection of the colors shifted slightly to the right
if I swirl it anti clockwise, the effect leans towards the left and gives it a diagonal gradient effect from black to white even though we applied the nail polish with verticle lines
Also if you find that the lines are too deep and the nail bed colors are showing up
then use less force on the stick and only drag the spiral through the nail polish not touching all the way to the nail and it will create a cleaner line
For my accent nail, I decided to add some blood splatter just to match the theme of the video
For a more indepth tutorial check out my splatter nail video for all the variations on creating splatter nails
This design is great to go with Dexter, CSI, and any other *** mystery themed costumes
Once you're done, apply top coat to protect your designs
