Batmani Gel Nail Polish Art
Glam meets gloom, this Batman-inspired ‘Batmani’ welcomes you over to the dark side. A hauntingly chic combo, the gothic, black base sets the stage for a sinister silver design that everyone is going batty for. For this badass set, we’ve blended black Gel Nail Polish with Silver Mirror Chrome Powder to create a dazzling silver gel. Use your Nail Art Palette and a Dotting Tool to mix these, before steadily painting five lines up the nail using your Thin Nail Art Brush. The bat's body is then formed by linking the lines together, paying special attention to keeping the tips pointed. Dark and ominous, this 'Batmani' is everything you need in a DIY Halloween manicure.

Ghost Tips Gel Nail Polish Art
Possibly our favourite nail art for the spooky season, these adorable ‘Ghost Tips’ prove Halloween manicures don’t need to be scary. Not only do they make for a boo-tiful set; they're also a ghoulishly good choice for nail artists of all skill levels. Start with a barely-there sheer Gel Nail Polish as the base, before using Whiteout and its brush to paint a swirl at the tip of your nail. One end should be thick, and the other thin, to capture that iconic ghostly shape. No need to be too particular, these little spirits shouldn’t be perfectly even! Finish the look by crafting the eyes using Black Out and your trusty Dotting Tool. The perfect nail design for those celebrating Halloween with an element of subtlety, these cuties can always be called on.

Bloody Chrome Gel Nail Polish Art
Carrie, is that you? Shine with a side of sinister, this ‘Bloody Chrome’ nail art is a beautiful nightmare. Chrome is hugely trending at the moment, and when paired with an oozing-red-glitter-blood tip, you’ve got the ultimate cool girl Halloween manicure. Begin by curing Black Out and Gelous Top Coat, before rubbing Silver Mirror Chrome Powder in circular motions over the nail. Follow this with an additional layer of Top Coat, cure, and dust off any excess powder. Let chrome then meet crimson by taking your Thin Nail Art Brush and sultry-red-shimmer, Blood Lust, to paint the blood drips. Once appropriately gory, join the drips together to form a swirly, oozy tip. This Halloween, glamour’s got a dark side.

Creepy Crawlies Gel Nail Polish Art
Send shivers down your spine this Halloween with a spider-inspired DIY manicure. Dare to get closer? This ‘Creepy Crawlies’ Gel Nail Polish Art promises to spin a wicked web on your spooky season mani, cursing your nails with a haunting ombre and itsy bitsy spider details. For this frightful set, we’ve used witchy Glitter Gel Nail Polish, Black Magic, the elegant sheer, French Kiss, and the strikingly bold purple polish, Violet Delights. To achieve the ombre French tip, simply use your Ombre Brush to sweep Black Magic down the nail. For the spiders to crawl their way up, craft a cobweb using Black Out and your Thin Nail Art Brush, drawing a line down the nail. Then, take your Dotting Tool to shape the body and head, whilst using the previous brush to paint the legs. For an extra scream-worthy accent, complete the manicure by adding a speck of Whiteout to the spider's back – your very own tiny arachnid horrors.
