Spooky season has arrived and we've got all the nail art inspiration you need for your nail art designs!
Our Technical Specialist, Maya Stamboliyska, has worked on four brilliant Halloween designs for you to try out using our Neon Pigments and exclusive October Nail Mail. Make sure you tag us @bluesky_cosmetics in any designs you create and we'll share our favourites!
Ombré Bats
1. Apply a thin layer of Bluesky Base Coat and cure for 60 seconds in your Bluesky Nail Lamp.
2. Apply 1-2 coats of Studio White (80526), curing for 60 secs between each new coat.
3. Using the applicator with a tapping motion, apply yellow pigment to half of your nail and orange to the other.
4. Blend the two pigments together using your applicator to create your ombré design - the pigment will stick to the tacky layer. Use a Dust Brush to remove any excess pigment.
5. Using the Liner Brush (BN002) and Cashmere Kiss (October Nail Mail Exclusive), draw your bats over your nail. Once happy, cure for 60 secs.
6. Apply a No Wipe Top Coat, cure for a final 60 secs and your nails are now Halloween-ready!
