A few weeks ago I had the wonderful opportunity to experience the beauty and sadness of Nosferatu, a masterful film by director Robert Eggers. The inspiration behind the original screenplay is the legendary Bram Stoker's Dracula, an iconic novel filled with vampire aesthetics and energy.
Whether you've seen the movie or heard of the original, silent version, you'll definitely love my blog post today, as I want to dedicate it to the nail designs, inspired by the dark vibe of the new Nosferatu movie. So, are you ready to fall in love with the following look? Beware, as some of the nails are so gorgeous, you'll be dreaming of them!
#1. Vyshyvanka Motifs
#2. Black Fog
Nosferatu aka Count Orlok aka Dracula manifested to Mina through the appearance of the fog or mist, which is only a few of his many shapeshifting abilities. Therefore these long, claw-like nails, covered in black, white, and gray color gradients will perfectly represent Nosferatu's elusive nature. What do you think?
#3. Nude Nails with a Twist
#4. Blue Roses on Milky Nude
#5. Romani-inspired Nails
#6. Syringa Flowers for Ellen
#7. Crimson to Clear Nails with Crosses
#8. Vitrage Manicure
A true goth nail design calls for stained glass sparkle. This gorgeous nail technique is very elaborate and unique, so you'll need to dedicate a few hours of your time and place a high degree of trust in your nail technician to execute this project.
#9. Lady Moth
One of Dracula's most devoted minions, R. M. Renfield, would love to wear this nail look. Me too! Why not? It has the whole package: spiders, moths, scarabs and even dragonflies. Anything else you'd like to add? Feel free to upgrade your next nail experiment.
#10. Baddie Coffin Nails
And, finally, how about we end today's list with baddie coffin nails (where do you think Nosferatu sleeps during the day?) I love how balanced this manicure looks. The nude base grows into an elegant coffin-shaped nail, generously adorned with bat silhouettes. And what are your thoughts, is it a legitimate number 10 for the list?
Concluding...
