SFX Make Up | Ripped Off Nail Look by Emma

Hello!
I’m Emma this is my first SFX make up post, which is going to become a monthly thing. I thought I’d start off with something quite basic. This post is a tutorial on a “ripped off nail” look, inspired by KlarieDelysArt, which is who I recreated and adapted this look from (mine is a little different to hers) Klaire is really good on YouTube and if you are into SFX makeup I would recommend her channel.

What you will need: • One false nail (Cheaper the better) • Nail or lash glue • Lip brush • Red lipstick (close to a blood colour) • Scissors/nail file • Red food colouring • Paintbrush/ pen/ pencil • Red nail varnish

(All of these items are easy to get hold of, they are/should be widely available - it is possible for you to create this effect without some of the products, but for best results it is good to have all of them.)

STEP ONE

First, take your false nail and see what natural nail the bottom fits perfectly to, and then cut or file it down to the right length so that it looks realistic but don’t glue it down yet. Now rip it in half (this is why the cheaper the better because it’s easier to rip) and glue one half onto your nail, I used lash glue instead of nail glue just because it was easier to take off, because I wasn’t going to wear this for a long time, remember to keep the other half for step three.

Step One Complete. Half a false nail on finger.

STEP TWO

Next, take your red lipstick on your lip brush, and paint the half of your nail that doesn’t have the false nail, and try to get underneath the side of the false nail just a little bit. I used MUA lipstick in the shade 13. REVIEW HERE

Step Two. Lipstick on finger, looks like blood.

STEP THREE

Then with the other half of your false nail, rip that into half again, and glue the bottom half onto your nail, angled upwards because if it had just been ripped up, it wouldn’t stay in perfect position.

Step Three. Add more false nail.

STEP FOUR

Now with the end of your paint brush, pen or pencil, drop the food colouring into the small half of the nail, and all around your cuticle dabbing with your finger, and down the sides so it looks like the blood is trickling down your finger.

Step Four. Food colouring.

STEP 5 (Optional)

OPTIONAL: I thought that the top of the longer half of the false nail looked little too sharp, so I just dabbed a bit of red nail varnish around the top to make it look more realistic and less like a false nail.

Step 5 (optional) Dab red nail varnish.

And that’s it Like I said, as this is my first post on the blog I decided just to go for something small, but in the future I will do more facial sfx. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and if anyone has any requests or suggestions for next month, I will be happy to recreate them for you, just leave a comment and I'll get back to you! ~Emma
