How to Apply Goth Nails

Video Transcript

"Hi I’m Constance Hall, and this is Jessica Rose. We are here for Expert Village, and now we’re going to show you how to do Goth nails. This is an example of a full set of nails that I did when I had time on my hands. What I did, was I took the fake plastic nails that you can get from any beauty supply store, painted them the color I wanted, then added gems and flowers, and glued them on. But today I don’t have enough time to show you that, it took me a long time. So I’m going to show you how to paint the nails with a regular nail polish. A lot of people seem to think that all Goths wear their nails black, but this isn’t true. I like bright colors; mine right now are dark blue. I’m going to put red on hers. So here’s the color. She already has a base on. It's really simple to paint nails. All I’m going to do is hold it still and then with just a couple of strokes, her nails are now a fabulous, vampish red. And after this, usually I do two coats and then a sealant. And that will keep it from chipping for at least a day or two. These obviously aren’t that easy to function with, you can’t type with them, but they are pretty easy to take off, and they look great for a night on the town. So there you go!"
