We’ve teamed up with the students of Trafford College to bring you some Halloween Inspired Nail Art! Don’t forget to tag us in your recreations on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

After you’ve prepped the nail, follow these steps to create some Halloween nail art!

Graveyard Screen

Step One
Apply one or two coats of Bride, to your preference.

Step Two
Apply Forbidden Fruit, Summer Crushin’ and Alluring to a sponge and colour blend onto the tip and cure for 30 seconds.

 Step Three
 Apply Glossing Gel to the entire nail, cure for 30 seconds and cleanse.

Step Four
Apply Swag in a straight line across the width of the nail and a third of the way up the nail and cure. After this, using a dotting or brush tool draw the head stone on using Swag and cure.

Step Five
Use Swag to draw the cross on top of the head stone and the grass, cure and cleanse.

Spider Web

Step One
Use Bride as a base coat to enhance the colour then Hotzy and Juiced on a sponge blend these shades repeatedly back and forth up the nail, cure and repeat till you get your desired colour intensity.

Step Two
With a striping brush and Metro create straight lines using long strokes for the web and cure. Repeat if necessary to intensify the colour.

Step Three
Then paint the curves using Metro, turning the nail to get a nice curve and flash cure each curve for 5 seconds. Finally do a full cure for 30 seconds.

Step Four
To create the spider, use a fine detail brush and Swag to make a circle for the body. To make the legs I just used a little flicking motion. Cure for 30 seconds.

 Skeleton

Step One
Paint your base using Temptation for the background then cure, apply a second coat if needed.

 

Step Two

Use the colour Bride and create your skeleton, start with the head then the spine, ribs, arms and legs with the fine detail brush and cure.

 

Step Three

To create the heart, use the shade Hotzy using the fine detail brush and cure.

 

Step Four

Then use Temptation with the dotting tool for the eyes and nose and the fine detail brush for the mouth and cure.

 

Step Five

Finally, apply Glossing Gel, cure and cleanse.
