Its snakes, evil eyes, and crescent moons make for a sinister set that skips the dark hues.
Its matte topcoat and autumnal colors give the Jack-o-lanterns, spiderwebs, and ghosts style and finesse.
For a spooky mani with a similar finish, reach for Nailtopias Go Matte Top Coat.
Next, smear chrome powder over the top of each nail to create this oil-slick effect.
Its a Halloween-themed manicure without going OTT if that isnt your vibe.
This look requires some patience and a steady hand.
To re-create it, start with a jet-black allover nail color.
Then, carefully paint the bones in a white polish.
If you arent a keen nail artist, take this inspiration to the salon with you.
