Easy Bloody Nail Art for Halloween
With Halloween on its way, I’m here to show you a fabulously grotesque nail art design. That’s right, I have some bloody nail art that will make it look like you’ve been sinking your nails into something gory. Without further ado, let’s begin this blood-dripping Halloween nail design.
Tools and materials:
- Base coat
- White nail polish
- Red nail polish
- Clear nail polish
- Dotting tool
- Thin brush
- Cotton
- Acetone
1. Paint your nails white
Apply a base coat to your nails and then color them with white nail polish.
2. Create the blood-dripping look
To create the blood dripping look, start by making three red dots in a triangle shape (as shown on the middle fingernail).
Then take your thin brush and join the dots together. Take it slow and steady so as not to make a mistake. The lines you are drawing to connect the dots will be thinner than the dots themselves, creating a realistic dripping look.
Proceed to color in the bottom of the nail.
Finish the blood dripping effect by drawing a dot at the top of the nail with the dotting tool, and then use the thin brush to draw a point at one end and turn it into more of a drop shape. When you finish the nail design, wait for your nails to dry.
3. Top coat
To finish off, apply a top coat. Then repeat the process on all of your other nails and you are done!
Bloody nail art
And here we have the finished blood-dripping nails look - isn’t it marvelous?! It’s a bit gory but that’s the fun of it. I think that the dripping blood looks very realistic and I’m super happy with how this nail art DIY turned out. Let me know in the comments if give it a go!

Hi Rose, LOVE this lol. All you need is "REDRUM" on one of the finger nails. Thank you for sharing.
I would do the blood dripping o an orange background and use glow in the dark red polish to make it really pop. But I do like your idea.
