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 we’re all going batty for. For this badass set, we’ve mixed black Gel Nail Polish with Silver Mirror Chrome Powder to create a striking silver gel. Use your Nail Art Palette and a Dotting Tool to blend these, before delicately painting five lines up the nail using your Thin Nail Art Brush. Form the bat's body by then linking the lines together, keeping the tips pointed. Dark and ominous, this 'Batmani' is everything right in a DIY Halloween manicure.

Ghost Tips Gel Nail Polish Art
Maybe 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. Starting with a barely-there sheer Gel Nail Polish as the base, simply use Whiteout and its brush to paint a swirl across the tip of your nail. Keeping one end thick and the other thin, this will form the signature ghostly shape. No need to be too 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 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. Chrome is having a huge moment lately, pair it with an oozing-red-glitter-blood tip and 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 circular motions over the nail. Apply a further layer of Top Coat, cure, and dust off the excess powder. Let chrome meet crimson by then taking your Thin Nail Art Brush and sultry-red-shimmer, Blood Lust, to paint the blood drips. Once sufficiently gory, join the drips together to form a swirly, oozy tip. Glamour’s got a dark side this Halloween.

To recreate the ombre French tip, simply drag Black Magic down the nail using your Ombre Brush. Let spiders then crawl their way up by forming a cobweb using Black Out and your Thin Nail Art Brush, drawing a line down the nail.
