I did it when that picture was first published a few months ago. It works quite well. You need a very bright red (because the black on the other side tones it down a lot) and do the red first.
It was messy to do and it took me an evening picking red bits off my skin!
If you have false nails ask your technician to apply red tips instead of the normal white ones to achieve this look.
I must say, when I had my nails like this, hardly anybody noticed!
