Cherry Red Deep V Tip nails
A deep V tip: Milk Glass cut to a sharp point up the centre of the nail over Cherry Red.
3 bottles: Cherry Red, Milk Glass and Oxblood. Cherry Red and Milk Glass sit a comfortable distance apart: the motif is clearly legible without shouting, which is the easiest range to freehand in. The bottles are not all the same finish (crème and sheer), so the pattern picks up light differently from the ground.
The squoval shape means straight sidewalls and a soft tip: anything built on a grid or a straight line sits truest here.

Questions about Cherry Red Deep V Tip
Is Cherry Red Deep V Tip hard to do at home?
It is the hardest tier on the site. It is doable at home, but the technique is the point rather than the colour. Budget an hour or more for a full set, and three colours means three chances for something to bleed, so cure between each one rather than working wet on wet.
What polish do I need for Cherry Red Deep V Tip?
3 bottles: Cherry Red (crème), Milk Glass (sheer) and Oxblood (crème). Plus a base coat and a gloss top coat, which every design here assumes you already have.
Does Cherry Red Deep V Tip work on short nails?
A squoval works short: you lose canvas width rather than length, so the motif just sits closer together.
How many coats does Cherry Red Deep V Tip need?
More than you would expect. Milk Glass is translucent, so the colour builds over three thin coats rather than covering in two. Stop wherever you like the depth — that is the point of a sheer.
