Halloween Nails



We're getting into October now and you know what that means - it's time to make everything spooky!  These easy Halloween manicure ideas are sure to add some eerie cheer to your day.




Spiderweb:
1. Optional, apply clear base coat.
2. Apply purple along the tip of the nail as if applying a french nail. Allow nails to dry between any extra coats needed to achieve solid color.
3. Use a toothpick, nail art brush, or line paintbrush to paint 3 long, straight lines on each nail. Connect the lines with a concave line to make web.
4. Apply a clear or clear with sparkle top coat.
 


Pumpkin
1. Optional, apply a clear base coat.
2. Apply orange to all nails. Allow to dry and apply as many coats as needed.
3. Use a toothpick, nail art brush, or line paint brush to add pumpkin faces in black. Be creative, it's like getting to carve 10 mini pumpkins without the mess!
4. Apply a clear top coat.


Tips
- use a q-tip dipped in polish remover to remove any mistakes along the nail edge or to clean up the "french" tip.
- french manicure nail guides can be used if you have trouble free handing.
- scotch tape can be used for any of the nail art for super clean lines, just make sure the nails are COMPLETELY dry before applying the tape.
- check for dryness by very gently touching two nails together, if there is any resistance or stickiness they are not fully dry.
