Tips for Making Halloween Nail Art Last

Detailed character art and fine web lines are always the first to chip, so seal them under a glossy top coat and refresh it every few days through party season. If you are painting webs or drips at home, a striping brush and a steady rest for your elbow make all the difference, and glow-in-the-dark top coats can be layered over almost any of these designs for an after-dark surprise. For 3D charms and gems, ask your technician to encapsulate them in gel so they survive until the last pumpkin is cleared away.

From one tiny ghost on a sheer pink nail to a full horror-film cast served as ice cream cones, there is a Halloween design here for every nerve level. Pick your poison, book the appointment, and let your nails do the haunting.
