Easy dotted Halloween nail art

Hi guys!

Halloween is right around the corner. How did we get to October so fast, right?! But it's here and Halloween is coming up and I've got fun Halloween nail art for you!

Okay this look is REALLY easy to achieve. All you need are Halloween colors and a dotting tool (can also be a toothpick!) and you're good to go. Who doesn't like fun nails for an occasion?

I know some of you can be skeptical or hesitant about doing nail art. It's okay I used to be like that too. I used to look at amazing nail art and think, 'wow, I could never do that'. Even now I have those moments but the trick here is confidence and patience. Okay so they aren't really tricks... more like tips! Trust me, you can do it.

Here goes:

I used China Glaze - White on White, Orly - Liquid Vinyl and a random neon-ish orange polish for this look.

You can see in the pictures that the orange polish isn't that obvious against the black polish. It would have stood out more if I placed a white dot of polish before dotting on the orange polish. If you're going to go with a black base, I would suggest using white to outline your design before applying the actual colors.

I simply used a dotting tool and dotted on random sized dots near the tip of my nail. Yes, I smudged an orange spot on my nail by accident. So people make mistakes - it's fine.

Simple enough, right? What do you think? Do you like Halloween nail art? You can totally attempt this! If you do attempt this design, I'd love to see the pictures. Just link them up in the comment section or email the link to me.

Thanks for reading! Stick around for more Halloween nail art!

Easy dotted neon nail art

Okay, this might be somewhat messy but just look past that, alright? This has got to be the one of simplest designs ever. You don't need any kind of skills to do this.

If you want to add a fun twist to your nails, all you have to do is get a dotting tool (doesn't matter if it's the end of a skewer, the end of a bobby pin or a tooth pick or even a pen).

Here are the colors I used for my skittle mani before I added the dots:
  • Index: Sinful Colors - 24/7
  • Middle: China Glaze - Turned Up Turquoise
  • Ring: Orly - Glowstick
  • Little: Sinful Colors - 24/7
I painted 2 coats of each neon polish over 1 coat of China Glaze - White on White.

I used my dotting tool to create these dots. I used China Glaze - Turned Up Turquoise to dot over Sinful Colors - 24/7 and Orly - Charged Up over the other two nails.
