1. Mummy

It starts with white nail polish and black polish is added after. Be sure to pay close attention, so that you can nail the pattern.

2. Frankenscars

The light green polish is perfect for any sort of Frankenstein theme, but we are not about to stop there. From there, grab black nail polish and add the “scars”.

3. Spooky Eyes

This one starts with black nail polish and the video will show you how to make the necessary embellishments. This is a nail art style that is sure to make you stand out this year (even if it’s just on Zoom)!

4. White Ghost

Black nail polish forms the base and white nail polish is also needed, of course. Once the ghost is painted, you’ll add the eyes and be on your merry way.

5. Dripping Blood

This one was so convincing, we were not sure if the fingernail was actually bloody or not. If you do it just right, no one else will be able to tell, either.

6. Spider Web

The purple nail polish is everything! White nail polish is added afterward, to create the webs. You’ll need to have a steady hand to pull this one off.

7. Jack O’Lantern

Orange nail polish is a must, of course. Pink nail polish is used as the base and black nail polish is used to create the eyes. The brown and green nail polish that is used to make the stem is a nice touch, as well.

8. Creepy Eye

The white base is the perfect place to start and it only gets more awesome from there. The baby blue polish forms the outline of the eye and will also be used to color the inside. The red polish is also a great touch. Make sure that you watch until the very end.

9. Scary Skull

White nail polish, black dots, it all comes together so nicely. The accents on the sides are also to die for (if you will pardon the expression).

10. Candy Corn

The colors that will be needed for this one should be obvious but they still look amazing. This might be our favorite, to be honest!
