Subtle is in: black or white French tips with one or two tiny accents, like a ghost or a single spider web. For the full spooky set, glitter blood drips, negative-space skeleton bones, ghosts, black cats and witchy celestial designs lead this year's roundups.
Try a black French tip with a tiny ghost or spider web on two nails, or a sheer nude base with white French tips and fine black webs. On short nails, Booksy suggests keeping the Halloween art to a single accent nail.
Warm, textural looks: falling leaves and maple-leaf accents, cable-knit sweater texture, and syrup nails, a sheer glossy jelly in amber and brown. The reverse French, with the color band moved to the cuticle, and mismatched sets in earthy shades are also everywhere.
Yes. Save a photo of the look, then in the Cutie Nails iPhone app tap Style, then From Gallery, and the design is recreated on a photo of your own hand.
Upload a photo of your hand and see Halloween and fall nail art on it before your next appointment.
