Festive red is a terrific holiday color for your clients’ nails. We challenged nail artists with creating monochromatic nails, using only shades of red, to inspire you.

Marianthi Tsitsopoulou (Oreoi, Greece) creates a 3-D design on a single nail tip using a variety of nail products based on a "music" theme. "I wanted to express music as a lifestyle, more than a product. For that reason, I made an afro girl, who represents the origin of my favorite kinds of music — soul, hip hop, funk and so on. I wanted her to have motion in her posture, and sound as she would be moved (the sound of her jewelry). I used a nail tip to sculpt her face and continued with a form to sculpt her body.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!"
