How to Make Werewolf Claws Last All Halloween

Long, sharp claw shapes are the first to chip, so build them on a strong gel or acrylic base and never use your nails as tools. Seal dark artwork with a glossy top coat to keep moons and silhouettes looking deep and crisp, refresh it every few days through October, and keep cuticle oil on hand, because cold autumn air dries skin fast and makes dark polish look dull.

From a single howling silhouette to a full blood-moon scene, werewolf nails are Halloween’s wildest manicure. Save your favourites, show them to your nail tech, and let your inner beast out when the moon rises.
