Tips for Making Chucky Nails Last
Portrait nails are tiny paintings, so protect them like artwork: make sure each layer of detail is fully cured or dried before the next begins, then seal everything under a generous glossy top coat and refresh it every few days so fine lines, lettering and stitch marks do not wear away. Long coffin and stiletto shapes chip at the tips first, so keep the edges filed smooth, be gentle with cans and zips, and book your appointment close to your Halloween event so the art is at its sharpest on the night.
From one tiny stitched heart to a full hand-painted portrait, these designs prove the killer doll owns Halloween nail art. Pick your scare level, book the appointment — and whatever you do, do not say his name three times.
