Boo! Halloween is just two days away, which means you’re
probably rushing to pick out your costume and get all your spooky festivities
in order. There’s one more thing to add to your list: decorating your nails
with a ghoulishly glam manicure that will help you steal the spotlight at all
the costume parties you attend!
If you’re having trouble
figuring out how to decorate your nails for the spooky holiday, don’t fret!
There are many freaky and fun ways to jazz up your nails for Halloween. Try out
any of the below styles to turn heads at all your frightening festivities!
Spooky Staples: Black and orange are the staple colors for
Halloween, so feel free to jazz up your nails with either or both of these
hues! Choose a solid black or solid orange mani, or alternate between orange
and black for each nail. You can also use toothpicks to draw Halloween designs
like little white "ghosts" and black "skulls" on each nail!
This look pairs perfectly with any black and orange attire you wear this
Halloween.
Zombified and Fabulous: If you plan to dress like a walker from The
Walking Dead this Halloween, look the part with creepy zombie nails!
Have gray polish, olive green polish, and a matte top-coat on-hand, as well as
a make-up sponge. Dip the sponge in the gray polish and dab on each nail. Let
dry, then dip the sponge in the olive polish to create little dark green “moss”
splotches on each nail. Once dry, add a clear matte topcoat to complete the
look!
Wicked Water Marble: Water marble manicures are so fun and unique, and
this look goes great with black and orange Halloween-themed shirts! Start off
with a cup of room temperature water, a bottle of orange polish, a bottle of
black polish, and a clear topcoat, as well as tape and several toothpicks.
Place tape around the edge of the first nail, covering the cuticles. Add two
drops of orange to the water and let spread, then a drop of black polish in the
middle of the orange polish, and add another drop of orange in the middle of
the black. Then, take a toothpick and drag the edges of the polish to the
center of the circle. Press your nail into the design, use a toothpick to
scrape excess polish away from the edges of the nail, and take the nail out of
the water. Then remove the tape and let dry. Use a toothpick to clear the
polish from the top of the water, and repeat the process with the rest of the
nails. Don't forget a glossy clear topcoat!
Spooky Spider Webs: Spider webs are always a staple Halloween
decoration, as seen by the fake cobwebs and spiders that cover houses in
neighborhoods everywhere. Celebrate this tradition by decorating your nails
with a spooky and fun spider web manicure! To do this design, start with a
bottle of black polish, a bottle of metallic silver polish, a clear topcoat,
and toothpicks. Paint each nail black and let dry, then, dip a toothpick in
metallic silver polish and draw silver “rays” coming out of the center of each
nail to the edges, and add swooping “spider web” lines between each of the
rays. Let dry and voila! A scary and stylish spider web manicure that is sure
to turn heads wherever you go this Halloween! This look goes great with
any witch or vampire costume!
Freaky Frankensteins: This mani is sure to help you win “Best Costume”
this year! Have on-hand green polish, black polish, white polish, and a clear
topcoat, as well as a several toothpicks. Paint each nail green and let dry,
then use a toothpick to draw black “hair” on the tips of each nail. Use another
toothpick to draw little white “eyes” below the “hair” on each nail. Let dry
and use a toothpick to add little black “pupils” in each of the white dots.
Finally, use a toothpick to draw black “stitched mouths” below the eyes on each
nail. Add more black stitches here and there on the nails, and add a final
clear topcoat to complete the look! This look goes great with any freaky and
fun ‘Bride of Frankenstein’ costume!
Cute Candy Corn Mani: No Halloween is complete without yummy candy corn!
Celebrate this delicious tradition with a cute candy corn nail design! Paint a
horizontal orange stripe at the base of each nail and let dry, add a yellow
horizontal stripe above each orange stripe and let dry, and then paint the tips
of your nails white. Don’t forget to add a glossy clear topcoat!
Jumpy Jack-O-Lantern Mani: We all love decorating Jack-O-Lanterns every
Halloween, and this manicure celebrates that spooky and fun tradition! To do
this ghoulishly glam design, paint all of your nails orange and let dry, then,
using a toothpick, paint a spooky black Jack-O-Lantern “face” on each nail.
Make sure each face is different, and feel free to add the word “BOO” on a few
nails! Complete the look with a clear topcoat. Jazz your nails up with this
design if you plan on wearing pumpkin-themed costumes or Jack-O-Lantern shirts
this Halloween!
