Whether you’ve mapped out your\u00a0Halloween\u00a0costume or not, you might want to include\u00a0Halloween\u00a0nail art\u00a0in your look. “Halloween\u00a0nail art for me is a chance to embody whatever character or object I’m dressed up as, down to the fingertips,” editorial manicurist\u00a0Miss Pop\u00a0says. “With costuming, it’s all in the details.” And although Halloween is one night a year, that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate with Halloween-inspired nail-art designs all month long. After all, who said the spooky season can’t\u00a0start in fall\u00a0and carry through till the holidays?<\/p>\n
There’s Halloween nail art to suit every style and\u00a0costume\u00a0\u2014 go subtle with\u00a0Halloween nail colors\u00a0or all out with\u00a0witchy\u00a0nail designs. As for whether or not to go for\u00a0long-wear gel, traditional polish, or\u00a0nail stickers, it’s all up to you. “Gel is a much better choice if you’re looking for something extra like a 3D look, gems, or a\u00a0chrome finish,” Miss Pop explains. “Although, I really love lacquer because I like the opportunity to switch my nail look every week.”<\/p>\n
Whatever you choose, you’ll need some ideas if you’re heading to the salon. “Even the most creative nail artist would like to see your inspo to get a better sense of what you’d like to wear,” Miss Pop suggests. “You don’t have to do a bunch of research or bring Halloween nail-art pics with you, but just a couple of images of things you like \u2014 anything from\u00a0cartoons\u00a0to art to an article of clothing \u2014 is perfect.”<\/p>\n
