Look #2: Ominous Ombre Nails

Ombre nails are always stylish no matter what time of year. When Halloween approaches, they can add a sophistication to your style and will make them stand out.

For this look, apply your base coat & nail polish and put liquid tape around your nails to protect your skin. To create the gradient, put your second polish colour on an eyeshadow applicator and sponge it on the top half of your nail. Put your base colour on the other side of the applicator and sponge on the bottom half of your nail. Repeat two or three times until you reach your desired ombre and wait 45 seconds between each layer.

Finish off with a top coat and remove the liquid tape. If there’s residual polish on your skin, remove with acetone on a cotton pad.

Look #3: Playful Polka Dot Nails

Bored of having plain orange & black nails? Polka dots are an easy way of adding fun to your Halloween manicure!

For this look, use the Salon Services Dotting Tool Set to apply your chosen polka dot colours and apply on top of your base colour. Wait to dry and finish off with a top coat.

Here’s a little tip: If you’re unsure of what size dots you want, do a test run on a piece of tissue.
