Candy Corn Chevron Chic
Next is the Candy Corn Chevron Chic which is the perfect way to play tribute to the popular Halloween candy.
This candy corn Halloween nail art is easy to do and will make your fingernails look Halloween in ways you never did before.
To get this candy-corn nail design start with a clean nail.
Apply a base coat for protection. Paint a layer of orange and white polish as the base color.
Then create a chevron chic pattern with a tape and polish it with white.
Finish with a clear top coat to seal in the design.
Ombre Candy Corn Design
If you are looking for something more sophisticated, the ombre candy corn design will make your nails an impeccable choice for your Halloween look.
You'll apply a gradient of orange and yellow starting at the tip (with more yellow), but make sure the transition is seamless like the real thing.
This awesome design will give your nails a Halloween vibe without sacrificing style.
Candy Corn French Manicure
This design is cute and simple with a festive twist.
First, paint your nails a pristine white (two coats will polish out the base nicely) in preparation for the inevitable French.
Now paint a stripe of orange polish down the center of the nail, like a piece of candy corn.
Follow this with a coat of yellow polish at the tips and around your nails.
For a spooky touch, use black polish to outline the candy corn shape.
Gothic Black Candy Corn
Gothic black candy corn designs have joyful colors without the light of your average candy corn.
First, start with a white canvas, ie: a clean dry nail.
Then, apply a jet-black color on the tip of the nail, and make it lighter as you go down to create an ombré (shading) look.
This color is very dark, dramatic, and great for those who go for darker looks.
Then you can add in a little bit of color with orange and yellow for the candy corn.
Also, try to use nail polish with a good quality brush for easy application.
Candy Corn Mosaic Pattern
Following on the black gothic candy corn design, here is the bright candy corn mosaic pattern.
If you like candy corn, you will love this mani. 🙂
Here's how you can achieve this look: Start by applying a base coat to protect your nails.
- Using a sponge, apply dots of orange, yellow, and white polish on each finger.
- Create a candy corn mosaic pattern by linking the dots together.
- Seal the edge of each nail with a clear coat for longevity.
You’re all set for a scary – and safe – Halloween!
