Batmani Gel Nail Polish Art
Glam meets gloom, this Batman-inspired ‘Batmani’ calls you over to the dark side. A hauntingly chic combo, the gothic, black base sets the stage for a sinister silver design that everyone will go batty over. For this badass set, we’ve mixed black Gel Nail Polish with Silver Mirror Chrome Powder to form a striking silver gel. Use your Nail Art Palette and a Dotting Tool to blend these, before intricately painting five lines up the nail using your Thin Nail Art Brush. Create the bat's body by then joining the lines together, taking care to keep the tips pointed. Dark and ominous, this 'Batmani' is everything you could ask for in a DIY Halloween manicure.

Ghost Tips Gel Nail Polish Art
Perhaps our favourite nail art for the spooky season, these adorable ‘Ghost Tips’ prove Halloween manicures don’t have to be scary. Not only do they make for a boo-tiful set; they're also ghoulishly good for nail artists of all skill levels. To create them, start with a barely-there sheer Gel Nail Polish as the base, then use Whiteout and its brush to paint swirls across the tips of your nails. Keeping one end thick and the other thin, this will form the distinctive ghostly shape. There's no need to be overly particular, these little souls shouldn’t be perfectly symmetrical! Complete the look by crafting the eyes using Black Out and your trusty Dotting Tool. The perfect nail design for those who prefer celebrating Halloween with a more subtle touch, these cuties can always be called on.

Bloody Chrome Gel Nail Polish Art
Carrie, is that you? Shine with a side of sinister, this ‘Bloody Chrome’ nail art is a beautiful nightmare. With chrome hugely trending at the moment, once it's paired with an oozing-red-glitter-blood tip, you’ve got the ultimate cool girl Halloween manicure. Start by curing Black Out and Gelous Top Coat, before rubbing Silver Mirror Chrome Powder in a circular motion over the nail. Apply a further layer of Top Coat, cure, and dust off the excess powder. Next, let chrome meet crimson by taking your Thin Nail Art Brush and sultry-red-shimmer, Blood Lust, to paint the blood drips. Once appropriately gory, connect the drips to create a swirly, oozy tip. Glamour’s got a dark side this Halloween.

Creepy Crawlies Gel Nail Polish Art
Send shivers down your spine this Halloween with a spider-inspired DIY manicure. Dare to get closer? This ‘Creepy Crawlies’ Gel Nail Polish Art promises to weave a wicked web on your spooky season mani, cursing your nails with a haunting ombre and itsy bitsy spider details. For this frightful look, we’ve used witchy Glitter Gel Nail Polish, Black Magic, the gorgeous sheer, French Kiss, and the beautifully bold purple polish, Violet Delights. To create the ombre French tip, simply glide Black Magic down the nail with your Ombre Brush. Allow spiders to crawl their way up by first forming a cobweb using Black Out and your Thin Nail Art Brush, drawing a line down the nail. Next, take your Dotting Tool to form the body and head, whilst using the previously mentioned brush to paint the legs. Add the final chilling touch by dotting a Whiteout speck on the spider's back – your own tiny arachnid horrors.
