I did my own Halloween nails

2025/10/14 Edited to

... Read moreHalloween is one of the best times to get creative with your nail art, especially if you enjoy doing your own nails at home. If you’re new to DIY nails, don’t worry—Halloween-themed designs can be simple yet effective with just a few basic tools like nail polish, dotting tools, and stickers. Popular motifs include pumpkins, ghosts, spider webs, and classic Halloween colors like orange, black, purple, and green. One great way to start is by choosing a base color that matches the Halloween vibe—matte black or bright orange are popular choices. From there, you can use nail art brushes or even household items like toothpicks to create spider webs or small designs like bats or candy corn. If freehand drawing is intimidating, nail stickers and decals offer a quick and easy way to elevate your manicure. Make sure to finish your look with a top coat to seal in your designs and add a glossy or matte finish depending on your preference. Don’t forget to prep your nails by cleaning and filing them beforehand to help your polish last longer. Aside from being fun and festive, doing your own Halloween nails at home saves money and lets you personalize your look exactly how you want it. Plus, it’s a relaxing way to pamper yourself while getting ready for Halloween festivities. Whether you opt for bold and dramatic or subtle spooky designs, DIY Halloween nails can add the perfect finishing touch to your holiday outfit.

I definitely need to repaint them and reshape a little, but I think they turned out cute! I tried doing the coffin style nail :) I am very impatient and hate waiting for my nails to dry, so please don’t judge too harshly! 🙏😝😂 I think I’ll need them to grow out longer before trying this style agai

Things I learned about doing my own nails💖💞
If you don’t wanna wait to order off Amazon, Sally’s is going to be your best friend. Builder gel in a bottle is better than acrylic if you asked me and it is very easy to learn how to use. The color birthday suit is literally like a dupe for.Opi! #💅ideas #unfiltered #doing my nails 🤔Cons:save
