Dragon Scale Acrylic Nails
Dragon scale nails made from snakeskin faux leather over matte black acrylics, with a holographic shimmer that catches every light.

Tiny iridescent scales layered over matte black nails — each one cut from holographic faux leather and placed just so, giving your hands serious dragon energy. Keri Lloyd uses the same faux leather technique from Charity’s dragon scale corset, miniaturized to nail-sized precision with nail glue that sets in seconds. Surprisingly quick to make once you find your rhythm, and endlessly customizable with different leather colors, paint finishes, or tiny gems.
