How To Do Purple Halloween Nails at Home

When it comes to doing your nails at home, a good prepping routine holds the key to making them last like the pros!

Clean your nails with a nail polish remover for a grease-free base to work from.

Then you can file and shape as required, paying attention to creating a smooth edge with a buffer. Push your cuticles back to elongate your nails and use a good quality cuticle oil or cream to keep them soft.

Before you apply polish, always wipe over each nail with some extra remover to ensure you get rid of any residue from the filing.

With a deep color like purple, build the color in layers by applying thin coats one at a time – If you apply too much at once, it will look messy or give you an uneven base to work from.

Once you’re happy with your base color, it’s your chance to get creative!

You can experiment with nail art designs like spooky spider webs and bats, or opt for glitter drips to make a bloody statement. If you’re feeling really adventurous, switch it up by adding a contrasting color like lime green or orange to add to the Halloween feel of this set.

Always finish with a coat of good-quality clear polish and make sure they are completely dry before you touch anything to make your set last longer and reduce the chances of the polish chipping.
