Tips for Making Halloween French Tips Last
French tips chip at the corners first, so ask your technician to wrap the polish around the free edge and seal detailed tip art under a generous glossy top coat. Fine lines and tiny motifs sit close to the edge, so refresh the top coat every few days, keep cuticle oil in your routine, and touch up any worn tips before parties so the artwork stays crisp.
From one tiny bat on a clean white tip to a full set of gothic stilettos, these designs prove the French manicure can absolutely do Halloween. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and wear the classic with a creepy twist.
