Fake Claw Nails

The trend of claw nails is popping up everywhere- from Rihanna to Lana del Rey. Unfortunately, in order to get the look, it pretty much requires fake nails. Well, I don't have money for fake nails, nor do I want to ruin my real nails, so here is a tutorial in which you can fake the claw effect. Enjoy!


Rihanna

Lana Del Rey



Base color- Sinful Colors Leap Frog
Nude colo- Sally Hansen Quick Sand
First, apply a base color. Any color you'd like- black looks really cool with this too.
Then, use tape to create a diagonal from the center of your nail to the outer edge.
Paint the area of nail a nude color.
Repeat on the other side of the nail.
And that's it! No, it does not look as fancy or out-there as using fake nails, however these nails still require a second look and without the price :)



Thanks for reading!

  1. Great tutorial, like the color combination! I wouldn't try those long type of claw nails, I am sure that it is not for every day use! For a star it's OK, they don't have to dish was daily, clean in the house and so on :)
