Medusa Snakes Halloween Gel Nail Art
This striking serpentine gel nail art is relatively easy to recreate and gives us all of the Slytherin vibes that we crave during the spooky season. Start by filing your nails into an almond shape. You'll want to paint some nails with plain Never Never Land Gel Nail Polish, some with an ombré blend from Never Never Land to Black Out Gel Nail Polish, and some with a delicate snake design on a French Kiss Gel Nail Polish base. The design is something a little different and will look incredible for all your Halloween festivities. 50 points to Slytherin!

Spider Web Tips Gel Nail Art
If you’re into something sophisticated, but still in the realm of Halloween-y nails then these nails will be ideal for you. To recreate this nail art, get started with a classic French tip using Black Out Gel Nail Polish on a French Kiss Gel Nail Polish base. On top of this, you'll want to paint your white spiderweb design.The spider web design will be the trickiest part of this manicure as the lines are fine and detailed, however our fine Nail Art Brushes will make the process much easier. We recommend taking your time and flash curing your nails regularly so you don’t bump or move any of the lines you create. Nail art is supposed to be fun, and spiderwebs are never perfect so don’t be too hard on yourself and make sure to enjoy this cute spider-themed mani.

Devil Tips Gel Nail Art
We’re obsessed with this devilish manicure - it's just too sweet to pass up! This design uses our much-loved French manicure theme, but with the addition of cute devil-themed touches to add a hint of Halloween. Paint your base of French Kiss Gel Nail Polish to start with, then paint your French tips using Red Sass Gel Nail Polish. Before curing, you'll want to turn some of these French tips into little devil horns or the spiked tail that the devil is known for. Voila, you've got a chic, understated gel manicure to dazzle at your Halloween party.

Halloween Ombré Gel Nail Art
An ombré black and red gel manicure seems like a no-brainer for a feisty, Halloween look. It’ll look like you’ve dipped your nails in blood, which could not be any more perfect for Halloween, right? Luckily creating an ombré nail look is surprisingly simple and looks incredible! Get started by painting Black Out Gel Nail Polish on the bottom half of your nail, then painting Red Sass Gel Nail Polish on the top half of your nail. Without curing, use your Ombré Nail Art Brush to lightly brush across the join of the two colours, blending them together to create your gradient effect. When you're not wanting to go all-out Halloween, this gel manicure design is perfect.

Dripping Blood Gel Nail Art
It wouldn't be a Halloween nail art blog without the tried and tested dripping blood gel manicure. We've taken the look from creepy to classy, with a mix'n'match combination of red french tips, blood drips plain red nails. Paint each style of nail separately - your first style with plain Red Sass Gel Nail Polish, your second style with a base of French Kiss Gel Nail Polish and a Red Sass Gel Nail Polish French tip and your third style with a base of French Kiss Gel Nail Polish and Red Sass blood drips. To create your blood drips, use a fine Nail Art Brush to line the top of the nail with Red Sass. Next use your Dotting Tool to paint the bottom of the drips, and finally join it all together! Blood nails for Halloween? Iconic.
