20 Gory Nail Art Ideas For The Bravest Halloween Lovers

You’ve still got less than a week until Halloween night and I bet you already chose your spookiest costume. In case you haven’t, though, here are some awesome ideas to get started. If you are currently working on the details, like your nails, for instance, feel free to borrow some of these ingenious Halloween nail-art ideas. Because Halloween will not be complete without all those fake blood nails and black paint all over your body. Gory nail art will not only shock everyone, but you as well, every time you look at your own spooky nails.


It is also an easy DIY as you only need some false nails, fake blood, and dark eyeshadow. To try this out at home, cut or split your fake nails open, apply fake blood, and then lightly apply the eyeshadow to your cuticles and nail tips to make your talons look dirty or bruised. The possibilities don’t stop here! Find out about some more ideas in the following Instagram posts.
