10 Easy Halloween Nail Art Ideas You Can Definitely DIY
written by CLAIRE BRODSKY @LOLO.NAILEDIT / INSTAGRAM When it comes to Halloween, many of us love going all out with elaborate costumes, spooky decorations, intricate makeup looks, and, of course, over-the-top manis. But sometimes, we want to embrace the season in a more low-key way. (Or we didn't snag a manicure appointment in time.) Whether you are a nail art newbie, don't have the time to perfect an elaborate mani masterpiece, or prefer a more understated approach, we gathered some of our favorite designs that will add a touch of spirit to your Halloween ensemble, no pro skills required. Read on for 10 simple and easy nail ideas to recreate this Halloween. 01of 10 Bloody Good @LOLO.NAILEDIT/ INSTAGRAM If you want something simple but undoubtedly spooky, consider topping a milky base with a red blood drip design. Celebrity nail artist Elizabeth Garcia—a master at achieving the drippy look—suggests using tools you probably have around the house to get the look: bobby pins or toothpicks. She recommends dabbing on small circles with your bobby pin (or toothpick), then going back and connecting them by drawing on the lines. 02of 10 Boo-tiful Designs @NAILSBY.HAILS/ INSTAGRAM This manicure showcases fun, iconic Halloween imagery in a simple and natural-looking way. To get a similar look, just top off a glossy, neutral manicure with French tips and drippy accents on some fingers and nail stickers—like those found on Deco Miami's Spooky Sheet ($10)—on the others. 03of 10 Slime-Time Entertainment @SUNBEAMNAILS/ INSTAGRAM For an effortless yet evocative Halloween mani, consider a solid color with a shimmer or chrome finish. Rita Remark, global lead educator for essie, says green nails, like this shimmery slime set, are "perfect for showing your witchier side without being obvious about it. Vibrant green nails are still very on-trend for fall, so you can... nod to the season without disrupting your fashion sense." 04of 10 Ghosts With the Most @DISSEYNAILS / INSTAGRAM Nail art is much more achievable when you opt for a single accent nail. For this set, start with a classic almond-shaped French manicure on four out of five fingers. (To add a minimalist twist, consider painting every other nail black.) Then, add tiny white and/or black ghosts to your designated accent nails. 05of 10 Up in Smoke @NAILS_BYELY/ INSTAGRAM Hazy tips might seem hard to achieve, but getting the look is easier than you'd think. After your base color has dried, Garcia says to add some ink to the tips of your fingernails; then, "take your brush of choice, dip it in a bit of alcohol, and touch the existing ink that's already on the nail with it," she says. "The ink will diffuse and separate, creating a super cool effect." She recommends finishing off the look with a matte top coat. 06of 10 Spooky Doodles @PHOEBESUMMERNAILS/ INSTAGRAM Decals and nail stickers can help you achieve a detailed nail look without the heavy time commitment; "There are no nail art skills or tools required," says Remark. "It is, however, very important that you apply them properly to prevent them from lifting." She shared her steps for flawless decal application: "Make sure... the base nail color is completely dry before applying the sticker. If it's still tacky, the sticker won't stick." "Try applying the decals with a tweezer; this makes placement easier and prevents oils from our fingertips interfering with adhesion." "Always apply [the stickers] beneath a top coat. [A ]top coat will seal them in. It's ideal to use a thicker, more voluminous top coat—essie's Gel Couture ($13) is a great option—because it covers the decal seams much better." 07of 10 A Medusa Moment @NAILSBYSUMAN/ INSTAGRAM These enchanting nails feature an ombré transition from a subtle nude at the base to a bright shade of green along the tips, topped off with a shimmering line of gold that evokes Medusa's serpentine locks. This mystical manicure is the perfect blend of sophistication and fantasy—making it an ideal look for the Halloween season. 08of 10 Shimmering Cuticles @IMARNINAILS/ INSTAGRAM This bewitching design features a single, delicate line of shimmering black polish along the cuticles while the rest of the nails are painted in a glossy, your-nails-but-better shade. The look is super easy to achieve but captivating and unique for the spooky season. 09of 10 Midnight Magic @PHOEBESUMMERNAILS / INSTAGRAM This celestial set gives off witchy vibes without immediately reading as "Halloween," making it perfect for those seeking a more ambiguous set. While pros can top the black polish with freehand gold drawings, you can get a similar look with nail stickers. Whichever method you choose, you'll want to seal everything in with a matte top coat. 10of 10 Pretty in Pumpkin @IRAMSHELTON/ INSTAGRAM Of course, you can always skip the nail art altogether and opt for a solid-color mani in a Halloween-y shade instead. That includes black, white, and green, but we have a soft spot for orange—it's perfect for fall in general, looking just as seasonal on November 1 as it does on October 31. 18 Fall Manicures for Short Nails—the Most Wearable Trend of the Season

TikTok Is Obsessed With This "Cherry Mocha" Nail Polish
by ZIZI STRATER @LOLO.NAILEDIT/INSTAGRAM There's no social media platform that moves through trends, aesthetics, and new favorite products as fast as TikTok. Though it may be exhausting to scroll through on a daily basis, when seasons start to change and new wardrobe inspiration is needed, there is no better place to be than the app. Now that the weather has officially made up its mind and decided it's fall (later than usual, but we'll take it), our For You Pages have become filled with influencers informing us what's in and what's out this season—cherry red, motorcycle boots, and, most surprisingly,Crocs are all in the mix this autumn. But the biggest fall 2023 nail trend we're seeing? Our new favorite nail color, "cherry mocha." The sweet-yet-sultry shade has been everywhere online; however, it's not just your average food-inspired manicure. Ahead, we break down the cherry mocha nail trend you're about to see on everyone's fingertips. The Trend The cherry mocha trend isn't misleading at all; the shade central to this trend looks like what we picture a new Starbucks drink called cherry mocha would look like—a deep, nearly black, purplish-maroon shade reminiscent of a real-life black cherry. @LOLO.NAILEDIT/INSTAGRAM This shade is actually has a long history, with its most recent resurgence being under the cherry mocha moniker. If you've been painting your nails since the '90s, you probably saw this shade and instantly remembered Chanel's iconic Vamp polish, which sent the world into a frenzy over the dark red-black shade. The shade has been reformulated and renamed a few times, but you can still get your hands on a similar one with Chanel's Rouge Noir ($32). @SARUHNAILS/INSTAGRAM While "cherry mocha" perfectly describes the color that's going viral (with over 3 million views and counting), it's not just a new name for a classic fall shade, it's an actual polish color. DND's Cherry Mocha ($8)—and TikTok's obsession with it—is what kicked off the trend in the first place. Cherry Mocha's rise in the trend cycle also coordinates with grungier, edgier fashion being similarly as mainstream as when Chanel's original polish first hit the scene. Influencers and fashionistas are pairing the sultry shade with everything from their casual, day-to-day athleisure to "rockstar girlfriend" makeup," leather looks, and ballet flats. Because, well, it really just goes with everything.

20 October Nail Ideas for a Moody, Autumnal Manicure
by REBECCA NORRIS @BRUSHEDBYB_ / INSTAGRAM October is officially here (where has the time gone?!), which means you may be looking for the perfect moody mani to rock during the spooky season. But as much as we enjoy a seasonal nail look, we also understand that not everyone wants to lean into Halloween with pumpkins and ghosts on their nails. With this in mind, we set out to find plenty of pretty nail art ideas for October—none of which feature kitschy accents. Instead, you can look forward to earthy, neutral tones, creative black-and-white combinations, witchy purple creations, and more. Check them out below. 01of 20 Neon Halloween Nails @YO_KESHH / INSTAGRAM Lime green, black, and orange are classic Halloween colors, but in this art deco-inspired stripe design, they're giving more "chic manicure" than "kiddy holiday nail look." We're here for it. 02of 20 Autumn Squiggle Nails @TIFFANYABBIGAILEBEAUTY / INSTAGRAM Squiggle and swirl negative space nails have been extremely popular all year. To bring them into fall, get them in autumn-inspired shades, like chocolate brown and spruce green. 03of 20 Earthy Abstract Riverbed Nails @NAILSBYCANISHIEA / INSTAGRAM October is the first full month of fall, so it's the perfect time to lean all the way into the neutral, earthy palette associated with the season. Here, you can see how an abstract approach to stripes can create a truly unique manicure. 04of 20 Vixen Red Nails @THEHOTBLEND / INSTAGRAM You can never go wrong with blood-red polish in October. Rather than any old red manicure, consider copying this jelly version, which gives it an unexpected twist. 05of 20 Clueless Cocoa Nails @PHOEBESUMMERNAILS / INSTAGRAM Checkerboard nails continue to be popular for fall 2023, as do plaid. This argyle take on the look is perfect for autumn and even nods at the Clueless trend from earlier this year. 06of 20 Earthy Abstract Mismatched Nails @NAILSBYCANISHIEA / INSTAGRAM Another way to incorporate earthy tones into your nail look is with a mismatched design. We like the looks of this one, which features trendy grid detailing and hints of pumpkin spice on a convenient short length. 07of 20 Black Drip Tips @IRAMSHELTON / INSTAGRAM Forget about a bloody drip October nail look: This abstract black-tip nail art idea creates a similar vibe without evoking the gore. As for the thumb accent—that's an actual nail piercing. 08of 20 Pumpkin Spice Nails @BROWNLUXENAILS / INSTAGRAM You may not want to rock actual pumpkins on your nails, but there's nothing kitschy about the seasonal color. While there are many pumpkin-inspired nail polishes out there, OPI Nail Lacquer ($12) in the shade Suzi Needs A Loch-Smith is particularly popular. 09of 20 Amethyst Crystal Marble Nails @SWAKNAILS / INSTAGRAM For a witchy vibe without incorporating any little faces or black cats into your nail look, consider a crystal-inspired manicure. This sparkly purple nail look is meant to look like an amethyst geode. Stunning, no? 10of 20 Autumn Floral Nails @SWAKNAILS / INSTAGRAM If you're not ready to say farewell to your favorite floral nail art, don't fret. You can upgrade the look for the season by getting your blooms painted in fall-friendly shades like terracotta, burgundy, and evergreen. 11of 20 Abstract Blob Chrome Nails @ANGELSNAILZ / INSTAGRAM Orange and silver are popular Halloween colors, but they really pop in a trendy chrome nail look with matte blobs. 12of 20 Earthy Green Digits @IRAMSHELTON / INSTAGRAM Let this be your reminder that a gorgeous October manicure doesn't require nail art. Case in point: This mossy green stunner. For a similar look, try using the Olive & June Long-Lasting Nail Polish in the shade WKF ($9). 13of 20 Mossy French Tips @IRAMSHELTON / INSTAGRAM Remember that mossy green polish from above? It looks fab when incorporated into a square micro French mani. 14of 20 Ember French Tips @IRAMSHELTON / INSTAGRAM Speaking of French manicures, there's always the option to swap out your white tips for a squash tone fitting for fall. Try the Londontown Lakur Enhanced Colour ($16) in Bee's Knees on a trendy short almond shape. 15of 20 Autumn Check @PHOEBESUMMERNAILS / INSTAGRAM Brown and green polish work together fabulously in checkerboard form. Here, the green tone borders on bluish-gray, creating an even moodier end look. 16of 20 Black Squiggle Tips @THEHOTBLEND / INSTAGRAM The wiggly black lines of this oval-shaped nail look give off a creepy, sinister vibe—all while looking chic as can be. The picture-perfect base of this manicure was created using The Gel Bottle Inc.'s BIAB #19 ($16). 17of 20 Moody Opal Nails @AMYYTRAN / INSTAGRAM Here's another witchy nail art idea. This pale opal manicure, complete with gold glitter detailing, looks fit for a magical encounter. 18of 20 Magical Chrome Nails @AMYYTRAN / INSTAGRAM If you like the idea of a solid manicure but prefer a bit more glam, consider swapping out your regularly glossy finish for a chrome dusting. Here, black nails were overlaid with rainbow chrome powder to create a metallic oxblood set. 19of 20 Eggplant Aura Nails @DISSEYNAILS / INSTAGRAM Aura nails have emerged as one of the year's biggest nail trends. Here, see how the design looks especially mystical in moody purple hues perfect for Halloween. 20of 20 Abstract Spooky Nails @BRUSHEDBYB_ / INSTAGRAM Last but not least, we have this fun mismatched black-and-white nail look. Complete with gemstones, French tips, and aura accents, it's one October nail look sure to turn heads.

13 Gradient Nail Ideas For Fall (and Your Easiest Mani Ever)
Written by CELIA SHATZMAN @LOLO.NAILEDIT / INSTAGRAM Maybe you don't have the patience. Maybe you don't have a steady hand. Maybe you don't have a dotting tool. There are many reasons to avoid DIY-ing nail art; we can't all create tiny masterpieces on our fingers. That's where gradient nails come in. It doesn't get any easier than painting each tip a different color, yet the trend can have as much impact as intricate nail art. Even better, all it takes to work and wear fall gradient nails is sporting the right color palette. Autumnal hues just might be the best of any season—think shades of falling leaves, vampy reds, and rich chocolate browns. And to prove it, we've rounded up the best fall gradient nail looks from Insta. Get ready to celebrate the spooky season with this inspo. 01of 13 Down With Brown @POP_POLISHED / INSTAGRAM These shades of brown might make you want to curl up under a blanket with a cup of hot cocoa. The matte finish makes it even more chic. 02of 13 Coffee Break @PHOEBESUMMERNAILS / INSTAGRAM Whether you're feeling more of a cappuccino or an espresso, this coffee-colored mani will give you that jolt of caffeine. The sweet swirls add an extra design element. 03of 13 Put It In Neutral @MELANATED.MANI / INSTAGRAM A perfect "10," this design features a different neutral on each tip, spicing up the simple colors. Nail artist Anna used the Orly Flawless Collection ($11 each) to get the look. 04of 13 Selling Sunset @LOLO.NAILEDIT / INSTAGRAM When you sport this mani, you can enjoy the sunset every time of day. The shades are also awesomely autumnal. 05of 13 Speaking French @PHOEBESUMMERNAILS / INSTAGRAM Consider this more proof that there can never be enough variations on the French manicure. Shades of brown make this double French set feel especially fall. 06of 13 Purple Reign @LOLO.NAILEDIT / INSTAGRAM From pink to deep aubergine, these colors prove you can go beyond the traditional greens, browns, and oranges and still get that seasonal feeling. 07of 13 Rainbow Bright @LOLO.NAILEDIT / INSTAGRAM We couldn't put it better than the nail artist who created this look, who describes it as "a Halloween-esque skittle." 08of 13 Hot Tip @DISSEYNAILS / INSTAGRAM Can't pick just one color? Try five with this fun French manicure, which features tips in shades of burgundy, green, and cream. 09of 13 Hit the Curve @NAILSBYCANISHIEA / INSTAGRAM A megawatt, high-shine base with matte tips? We can't get enough of this minimalist take on the two-tone French trend. 10of 13 Tanning Solution @TIFFANYABBIGAILEBEAUTY / INSTAGRAM A luxuriously long length and perfect shape make an otherwise simple mani a head-turner. 11of 13 White Hot @AMYYTRAN / INSTAGRAM There's so much to love about this set, but we'll call out two specific elements: The chevron spin on a French mani and the bright white contrasted with fall hues. 12of 13 Gold Rim @THEHOTBLEND / INSTAGRAM Go for the gold by dressing up the colors of fall with a thin gold line that adds elegance. 13of 13 Fall Swirl @GLAMMERTIZED / INSTAGRAM A delicate design and pretty fall colors make this swirly French mani a seasonal standout.

All you need to execute the perfect heart is a handy toothpick. Use the toothpick to make two equal-sized dots next to each other, and then drag each of them down at a 45 degree angle to meet at the bottom. Easy as that! Thin Stripy Nails For very thin, striped nails, you can use a fan brush. Once your base color has dried, dip the tips of the fan brush’s bristles in a different color and brush over your nail horizontally. Wait for it to dry, then carry on with the process using any other colors you wish. Color Pairings If you want to combine two colors with your fancy nail art, follow this pairing chart to make sure your colors won’t clash. Cotton String This is a really fun and interesting idea for innovative nail art: paint your base coat and let it dry, then add a clear coat and drape and loop the cotton string so that it sticks to the still wet coat. Once it has dried, top it off with another clear coat so that the string will stay in place. You can finish it with the Christmas lights, but if it’s still too early in the year, just leave the squiggly line as is and play around with the base and string colors. Splattered Nails Use a slanted makeup brush to splatter a color (or combination of colors) on your nails for an incredible DIY Jackson Pollock-esque manicure. Simply dip the brush in polish and then in nail polish remover so that it’s thin enough to splatter. Splattered Nails Option 2 If you don’t want to ruin your makeup brush with nail polish or don’t have an extra one to spare, you can use a straw instead! Cut the straw in half (shorter means more control), dip the bottom in nail polish, and simply blow it onto your nails for the same effect. Shearing Scissors as a Tool Remember those shearing scissors you loved to use in school? Well it’s time to dig them out again. Use these scissors to cut zig-zag shapes with your scotch tape so that you can use them for the perfect zig-zag or scalloped pattern.
