● Use Nail Stickers: If you are not very sure about the painting you can go for simple Halloween nail stickers. They are fast, simple, and you don’t have to go to a beauty salon to have a nice manicure.
●Invest in a Fine Brush: If you long for a detailed design, then a nail brush with thin bristles will come handy. It enables a user to make complex lines for webs, skeleton and other designs with finer degrees of accuracy.
● Matte vs. Glossy: Matte polished tops offer a not-so-spooky and (sometimes) less flashy appeal to Halloween nails compared to glossy polish that offers a bit of shine and theatricality. To get the desired effect, you can either stack or combine several established designs in any regenerative junction box.
●Accessorize with Rhinestones: To make your Halloween nails stand out a little bit more, just like the eyes or to make the design on your nails look like they have some depth, you can always use rhinestones.
