Tonal burgundy croc.

Deep burgundy coffin nails with a subtle tonal crocodile-grid pattern made of slightly darker glossy lines, no raised spikes. For a flat interpretation, use fine darker burgundy lines over the base; keep the grid subtle instead of adding thick raised borders. The reference uses long coffin nails; adapt the proportions to your own nails when planning the look.

Steps

Gently shape the free edge; leave the cuticles intact.
Start with clean, dry nails. Apply base coat according to its label.
Apply thin coats of your chosen regular polish and let each layer dry.
Let the base dry. With a fine nail-art brush, sketch one small section of the reference line at a time using contrasting regular polish. Keep plenty of the base visible; start with one accent nail if the full pattern feels too intricate.
Add top coat following its label and allow enough drying time.

Tips

For a flat interpretation, use fine darker burgundy lines over the base; keep the grid subtle instead of adding thick raised borders.
Tonal burgundy croc. Use this original concept as a visual reference. The home version uses regular polish and does not reproduce extensions, raised decorations or specialist salon effects.

Before you begin

Use only regular air-dry polish for this guide. Follow the product labels, ventilate the room and stop if irritation occurs. Do not use damaged or painful nails.
