Tips for your manicures on Halloween

- White nails, you know, two layers, and a not very thick line at the tip of the red nail, a bit wavy to simulate the blood that Dracula likes so much. Don’t you love the idea?
- Use a stencil to decorate your skull, mummy and Dracula nails for your Halloween party
- The nail designs for Halloween that we have just seen are very simple when seen on paper, however, when it comes to starting to work with brushes and nail polishes, doubts can arise, not to mention the pulse…
- There are those who have been painting their nails all their lives and are already all experts, for those who don’t, what can we do? Well, use a template. Since Halloween is a recognized holiday, it will not be difficult for you to find that you prefer in your beauty shop.
- That is one option, the other is that you make the design yourself on cardboard and then use it as a template to color your nails. On that cardboard, measure the contour of each of your nails, of all, or of the ones that you are going to wear the design. Mark it on the cardboard, make the drawing, cut it out so that the space is blank and you will have it ready to put it on your nails and draw the mummy, Dracula with his sharp teeth or a black and white skull of those that look so cool.
