This 3-D nail art will have people gawking at your nails all night long and wondering what you did to trap ghouls in your nail bed (that would make for one interesting ghost story). Use a white 3D UV gel polish to build your ghost face (try Nailite 3D UV Gel in White) and then add a topcoat to seal your design. If you can't get your hands on a 3D UV gel polish, nail blogger Piggie Luv shares tips for creating the unique look using white nail polish and foil gel. Check out the tutorial here.
These are no itsy bitsy spider nails. To weave these chic webs, grab OPI Nail Lacquer in Black Onyx and Alpine Snow. Use a nail art brush to create the webs, making sure to keep a steady hand while painting the design -- otherwise your nails could come out a lot scarier than intended (and not in a good way). If your hands are a little on the shaky side, you can opt for these spider web nail decals .
Forget covering up the evidence! You'll want the entire world to see your blood splattered, crime scene-themed nail art this Halloween. To steal the edgy look, use Ulta3 Nail Polish in Cherrylicious and Black Satin. Paint the two polishes on an applicator sponge, and gently dab the end of your fingertips with a sponge to get the semi-gradient look before finishing with a clear topcoat. You'll have everyone asking where you stashed the body.
Alert Charlie Brown! We've found the great pumpkin and it's in this adorable pumpkin patch manicure. To create this cute nail design, use OPI Nail Lacquer in Maintaining My Sand-ity, Chromatic Orange, Lincoln Park After Dark and Is Mai Tai Crooked?
Check out this tutorial on how to get the easy-to-acheive look.
Vamp up your traditional black Halloween nail this year with this bloody French tip. Start by using a black nail polish like Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer in Little Black Dress as a base. Once dry, use a glittery red polish such as Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer in Rare as Rubies to paint the tips of your nails. To get the dripping blood look, pour a bit of the red nail polish on a piece of paper and dip a bobby pin or dotting tool into it. Then starting at the tip of your nail, take your nail polish-covered tool and lightly tap your nail to create droplets. Once dry, finish with a topcoat.
There's no better time than Halloween to embrace the nail art trend. Unlike most holidays where you have to play it safe (you're not going to show up to Easter Mass with a 3D bunny on your thumb), Halloween is made for going all out. After all, the entire purpose of the holiday is to completely transform yourself -- right down to the spookiest Halloween nail designs.
Counting down the days until we get to play dress up, we've thought about every detail of our costume, and scoured Pinterest for killer Halloween nail designs (see what I did there?) we can wear all month. We even rounded up the best Halloween nail art we've seen this year. The best part? They're all easy nail designs you can pull off on your own. While manicure money is always well spent, we know you're saving your moola for that half-priced candy the day after Halloween.
