“The Blonds are designers who are known for creating collections that are over the top with a rebellious twist. I designed a long stiletto nail to accessorize the dramatic looks. I wanted the nail to personify a vixen, vampire look. And what better way to incorporate that look than a blood-red drip nail using signature CND shades like Rouge Rite and Black Pool? Inspired by a vixen vampire, a little femme and a little darkness,” said Kandalec.
Step by Step:
- Polish ¾ of the nail with CND VINYLUX in Rouge Rite.
- Polish ½ of the nail with another coat of CND VINYLUX in Rouge Rite.
- Taking a thin liner brush dipped in pure acetone, work the brush backwards vertically until the desired pattern and look is achieved.
- Use acetone to create additional negative space.
- Allow to dry, and apply CND VINYLUX Top Coat to seal.
- Once dry, apply CND SolarOil to nail and cuticle for a moisturized finish.
