Get Ready for Halloween with 3 Creepy-ly Chic Nail Tutorials
With the temperatures dropping and leaves falling, spooky season is fast approaching! There’s no better way to celebrate than by glamming up with some eerie nail art. Bellacures’ marketing specialist, Rianna Basurto, shares three spook-tacular nail tutorials that are sure to get your clients into the Halloween spirit. Let’s dive into these hair-raising designs!
Bloody French Tips
Looking to add a chilling twist to your classic French manicure? The Bloody French Tips are the perfect way to go! This ghastly red look promises to be a massive hit this Halloween.
- Begin with cuticle care, then file nails into your preferred shape.
- Apply a coat of opaque nude polish as the base. Choose a nude shade that complements your client’s skin tone.
- Using a dotting tool, apply dark red polish dots towards the middle of the nail bed. These dots will mark the endpoint for the blood drips and should vary slightly on each nail for a more natural look.
- Draw up the polish from the dots towards the tip using a thin line brush. Each drip should have its own unique flow for added realism.
- Connect these drips at the nail tips and fill any gaps with more dark red polish.
- Seal the look with a glossy top coat for that ultimate bloody effect!
Spooky Ghost Mani
Create a nail design that sends shivers up your spine with the Spooky Ghost Mani! It’s hauntingly beautiful and incredibly easy to achieve.
- Kick off with cuticle care and file the nails into a rounded oval shape.
- Choose a nude polish that complements your client’s skin tone and apply two coats as the base, ensuring proper drying time between coats.
- Use a thin line brush with white polish to outline a ghost shape on one side of the nail. Start small from the corner tip and gradually widen as you approach the nail bed.
- Fill in the outline with white polish for a vibrant ghost appearance.
- Once dry, add eyes to the ghost using black polish on a dotting tool.
- Finish with a clear top coat and some nourishing cuticle oil for maximum shine.
Spider Mani
This nail art is sure to weave its magic. The Spider Mani is perfect for those edgy Halloween vibes.
- Start with cuticle care and file nails into a squared shape for a sharp look.
- Apply two coats of black polish on each nail, allowing adequate dry time between coats.
- For the spider design, on the ring finger, use a dotting tool with white polish to create a big and a small dot, forming the spider’s body and head.
- Drag the white polish to form slanted legs coming from the big dot. Add eyes with black polish for added effect.
- Amplify the look with some glitter or gems if desired.
- Seal with a top coat and apply cuticle oil for sheen and durability.
