Nail Art: Cute Dracula

Earlier this month, I asked you on Facebook for requests on Halloween nail art ideas. I did the girly skulls first that I named Colorful Skulls. There was a request for cute vampires and I did just that for my 4th installment of Halloween nail art designs for 2011. This is a freehand nail art that features a very specific vampire -- Dracula.

The design includes Count Dracula, one on each hand, bats and spooky eyes.

Base colors are:

• Red - Sally Hansen Cherry Red in 2 coats, applied as background color for Dracula.
• Black - Sally Hansen Black Out in 2 coats, applied as background color for spooky eyes.
• White - Color Club Paris White in 3 coats, used as base color for the bats.

I used acrylic paints, a detailing nail art brush, and dotting tools for this vampire nail art.

Since I'll be working on with my weaker hand to paint my right, I decided to have more spooky eyes on my right hand instead of mimicking my left hand to make it easier for me. I think it makes the entire design more interesting this way despite my lame excuse. :)

To make a cute Dracula, I decided to paint a round face for him and add red blushes on his cheek. I also added 2 white stripes on his hair as how is normally depicted. For a scary vampire, you could make his eyes red. I painted the eyes quite normally for a cartoonish look.



For the bats, I drew them as silhouettes with white eyes. I intentionally wanted the bats to cut across my nails so I painted them with the wings stretched up to the edge on both sides of the nail. Looking at it after I was done sealing my design, the bats would have been a good idea for a french tip inspired design for Halloween.

As for the googly eyes, I just wanted to add more cuteness to the design. Do you think it worked?



I'll be trying to squeeze in more requests before the month ends. If you have ideas that you would like me to create, you can contact me here.

I hope you enjoyed my Cute Dracula Halloween nail art! Does my vampire deserve to be labeled cute?
