If there’s one thing we love about Halloween, it’s dressing up… our nails! Even if you’re hesitant to don a full-fledged Halloween costume, there’s always our nails to experiment on. We’ve rounded up a bunch of our favorite drugstore nail polishes, topcoats and stickers to get our fingertips looking as orange as a pumpkin or downright ghoulish with a matte black finish. We even got inspired to do some of our own nail art with fab nail designs from Mars the Salon.
5 Best Halloween Nail Art Stickers – Broadway imPRESS Press-On Manicure, KISS Nail Dress, Tattoos
If you’re a classy gal, then choose solid colors in orange, black and white. Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color gives you high-speed style, available this year in Pumpkin Queen, Scaredy Matte, Omghost and Night Fright. Feeling a little more adventurous? Top them off with a glittery topcoat, like Sally Hansen Big Glitter Top Coats in Dressed to Thrill and Costume Glitters. Chunky pieces of glitter cover your black or white nails for some dimensional glitz.

Bloody Nails
Preparation Step: Apply a coat of JINsoon Power Coat
Step 1: Apply JINsoon Kookie White on each nail
Step 2: With JINsoon Coquette, wipe off all the liquid from the brush on the neck of the bottle and with varying short strokes, apply polish from top to bottom of the nail Tip: Change up how long the strokes are for a more realistic effect and don’t be afraid to blot it in a few places
Step 3: Go over the strokes you made with JINsoon Coquette using JINsoon Audacity in the same way, but apply it in fewer places. The goal of this step is to create depth to make the JINsoon Coquette look more realistic
