Cute Meets Spooky: Easy Halloween Manicure

Halloween–just the best holiday of the year–is rapidly encroaching. I’m confident you considered your Halloween outfit, but what about fingernails? Sure, a solid black or orange is apropros, but what if I told you could take your holiday-themed nails one step further? Well, you can.

Now we’re creating hanging spiders and spooky eyes in a darkened room. You will want just three nail polish colors, a dotting tool (or alternative) and a small brush (or alternative). Personally, I’m absolutely tickled by these Halloween nails’ final result. Not only are they super-easy to pull off, but they’re the ideal mix of spooky and adorable.

Halloween Manicure Tutorial

Step 1: Prep and Paint Your Own Nails

Every good manicure wants a fantastic base. Start with filing your nails so they’re the same length, then use a cuticle oil. You can use olive oil. Wash it off and then paint a base coat. Next, paint all your nails except for your ring fingers with nail polish. Zoya’s Arizona was utilized by me. Paint your ring fingers black. The Black Satin of Rimmel London was utilized by me.

Step 2: Dot Your Nails

Place a black dot on the center of your nails. For the accent nails, apply two sets of white dots. You can use a dotting tool or, rather, a pin, bobby or paintbrush pin.

Step 3: Draw Lines

Draw on a line that is black that is straight from the top of your nail to your dark dot your orange fingers on. This is the spider’s net. I used a very small nail painting instrument. It is possible to use a nail polish striper or nail pencil for this.

Step 4: Draw Legs

Draw three lines on both sides of your dots to make spider legs. These can be carried out with small paint brush a nail painting instrument, nail polish striper or nail pencil.

Step 5: Bring Eyes

For the finale, use two eyes that are white on every one of your own spiders. On each and every set of those white dots, draw on two little dots for the spooky eyes from the darkened. I used an old pen’s suggestion to create the dots on the spiders. After everything dries, then seal your Halloween manicure in with a top coat.
