[rebecca1987]

Thank you

Humbug stripes? Drippy blood?

I would assume anything a bit crudely gothic would be ok.

Why not ask what she had in mind?

If you are artsy try black with red tips or tuxedo pin stripes with little red dots on a few or red flowers. Maybe black with little skulls wearing pink bows?
How about a graphite grey reverse French with a black lunula.

one of butons trademarks is stripes, black and red or red and black, also, consider the trees in sleepy hollow and nightmare before christmas. jack skellingtons face would be quite easy to reproduce. don't just "do goth" tim burton has really distinctive style

I don't think I have seen his work. Who is he?

 

[DinkyPinky]

He is an American film Director, Producer and Writer. He has done many films but the ones I can think of are:

Edward Scissorhands
Beetlejuice
Sleepy Hollow
The Nightmare Before Christmas
Corpse Bride
Sweeney Todd
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Alice in Wonderland

If you've seen some of these films you will get the general style x

This lady has some "Dark and Strange" nail art tutorials which might be suitable. Her work is fantastic!

Have you looked at tutorials on Youtube? They usually are pretty good at showing you how to paint. Just see what kind of thing your client is after.

YouTube - Nail art tutorial - Tim Burton black & white striped nails!

I think you should do something from corspe bride...if she loves navy blue/black white, skulls,lace etc. alice in wonderland if she likes vibrant colour/poker cards.
Or sweeny todd...is obviously blood red! beetlejuice is purple,spider patterns, stripes and poka dots. Id be tempted to use my konad stamper!hths xoxo

I had a girl a few years back that was pagan and wanted to do something festive but didn't celebrate Christmas..so we did The Nightmare before Christmas art on her nails. Just in case it gives you any ideas...here they are:

they are amazing Jess - I have a friend who would literally bite your hand off ( forgive the pun lol ) for nails like that :d

 

[mini4mum]

Tap into YouTube Tim Burton nails & one of them are Michelle Phan copies (she does lady Gaga etc) by the nail duchess, that might give you some ideas!!
Take care
