While Halloween may only take place on one day of the year, we like to bend the rules a little and celebrate it all throughout October. Why? Because there are so many stunningly spooky Halloween nail designs that we want to try out!
We’ve taken our terrifyingly good gel polish and nail art products to inspire you this Halloween. So, grab your nail ghouls and get ready to create some Halloween gel polish manicures this spooky season.
Give Them Pumpkin To Talk About!
A fun and festive gel nail design for Halloween! It's also super simple. All you need is 80518, No Wipe Magnetic Holo Top Coat, Magnet, Amberina, Nail Art Brush and No Wipe Top Coat @nailed_byemily shows you how!
Spooktacular Spider Nails
Nothing says – or screams – Halloween more than spider web nail art. Bluesky Matrix Gel helps you create easy Halloween nail designs and is a great starting product if you’re new to nail art.
How do you make spider web nails? Apply a Bluesky Base Coat and Bluesky gel polish colour to your nails following our steps for gel polish application and curing times.
- Then, take your desired Matrix Gel (in black, white or red – we prefer white for a true spider web look!) and a thin nail art brush.
- Dip your brush in your Matrix Gel and carefully dot it onto your nail in the pattern of a spider web.
- The Matrix Gel will follow the pattern of the brush to create your spider nails
For Nails That Are Out Of This World
Bluesky Galaxy Gel will give you a gel nail manicure that's out of this world! A mixture of green, pink and blue glitter flakes that will create simple Halloween Nails!
Choose a black gel polish as your base - Galaxy Gel is an iridescent glitter coat and works best on top of a dark gel polish for stunning Halloween Gel Nails!
- Prep Nails and apply a thin layer of Bluesky Base Coat to all five nails, capping the ends. Avoid the skin and cuticle. Cure for 60 seconds under your Bluesky nail lamp.
- Apply 2 coats of a dark colour (we love 80518 - Blackpool), curing for 60 seconds between each coat.
- Apply your chosen Galaxy Gel to your nails and cure for 60 seconds.
- Apply a further coat of Galaxy Gel if you'd like a more opaque coverage. Cure for a 60 seconds.
- For any otherworldly nail art we love our Gel Paints! (see below for application techniques)
- Apply your Bluesky No Wipe Top Coat and cure for 60 seconds
Shoot For The Stars
