Dark greens
Dark greens are always a perfect choice for the spooky season. And if you’re not into the over-the-top vibes but still want to be festive on Halloween, this single colour mani is worth considering.
“Green nails have always had the vampire vibes, and we’ll definitely be seeing this colour donned by the fashion crowd this year!” said Apfel Glass, founder of Glosslab. “The colour is flattering on every skin tone, and you can wear it for Halloween and beyond.”
Bonus points if you wear some statement jewellery for added visual interest.
