DIY: 5 Easy Halloween-Themed Nail Art Designs

If you're not dressing up on Halloween, at least, let your tips celebrate for you! Here are five super easy (and super cute/creepy!) Halloween-themed nail art designs you can do on your own:

For these nail art designs, you will need...
-Various shades of nail polish (I will tell you which to use in the how-to)
-A fine tip brush
-Tape
-Tiny studs

Nail polish colours you will need: white, orange, yellow

1) Apply a white base coat and let it dry completely.
2) Cover the tip and base of your nail with tape.
3) Brush the orange shade.
4) Carefully peel off the pieces of tape.
5) Carefully brush some yellow lacquer at the tips, avoiding the orange part.
6) Apply a clear top coat to protect your design.

Nail polish colours you will need: white, sky blue, black, red

1) Start with a white base coat.
2) With a fine tip brush, draw a blue circle at the centre of each nail. Let it dry.
3) In the middle of the blue circle, draw a small black circle. Let it dry.
4) Use a dotter to make a tiny white dot at the upper right side in between the blue and black circles.
5) Draw thin red lines in the white area to depict veins. 
6) Finish with a clear top coat.

Nail polish colours you will need: sea green, white, black, red

1) Apply a white base coat. Let it dry.
2) Brush a layer of sea green nail polish (or any shade of Frankenstein green you have in mind!).
3) Once the green has dried, use a fine tip brush to draw the upper facial features of Frankenstein and his bride and some other details like stitches.
4) Protect your design with a clear top coat.
5. If you wish to add some bolts to the side of Frankenstein's head (a.k.a. your nail), use clear polish to stick on two silver studs.

Nail polish colours you will need: orange, black

1) Start with an orange base coat.
2) With a fine tip brush, draw some Jack-O-Lantern faces. Trust me, this is waaaaay easier than carving a pumpkin! (Duh.)
3) Finish with a clear top coat.

Nail polish colours you will need: red, white

1) Apply a white base coat. A clear one will do, too, actually.
2) Brush a slightly layer of  red polish at the tip of your nail.
3) With a fine tip brush dipped in red polish, slowly drag the polish at the tips downwards, as though blood is dripping from your nails.
4) Protect your design with a clear top coat.
***Tip: You can also use a sickly green colour instead of red for a disgusting slime design.
