Halloween Nail Colors Worth Wearing: A Guide to Cleaner, Plant-Based Manicures

Manucurist nail polish makes Halloween manicures easy to love. Instead of hunting for one "spooky" color, think in moods. Here are four Halloween looks, each built from shades in our Manucurist range.

1. The Witch: Aubergine Dark Purple and Sugar Plum

Deep, moody and a little mysterious. Aubergine Dark Purple is the safe pick: it has the drama of black without the harshness, and itʼs one of our best-sellers. For a berry-toned take, Jelly Sugar Plum is a glossy jelly plum that works well on its own or layered.

2. The Vamp: Poppy Red

Classic blood red for a vampire look. Poppy Red is bold and bright, and a coat of gold Shimmer Top Coat on top turns it into something out of a gothic ballroom.

3. The Ghost: Nebula Holographic White and Mist Grey

For ghost and full-moon looks. Nebula Holographic White flashes a rainbow when it catches the light, and Mist Grey is a soft grey for a quieter, foggy-night feel.

4. The Pumpkin and the Potion: Tangerine and Lime

Tangerine is the bold pumpkin orange that looks bright against all-black outfits. For something louder, Lime is a potion green that stands out at any party.

FAQ: How do I make any look more festive?

Layer a shimmer top coat. The Natural Shimmer Top Coat comes in gold or silver, and one coat over any shade adds party sparkle without a new color. Try it over Poppy Red for blood-red-and-gold, or over Aubergine for something that looks like a night sky.

FAQ: Is Halloween nail polish safe to wear?

Costume-shop polishes can be a mixed bag, so itʼs worth checking the label. Manucurist Green™ polishes are made in France with plant-based ingredients and are 12-free, meaning they leave out twelve of the most common problem ingredients, including formaldehyde, toluene and phthalates. Thatʼs a good reason to choose them for anyone who paints their nails often.

FAQ: How do I take Halloween nails off afterwards?

Nail polish doesnʼt wash off with water, so youʼll need a remover. The Natural Nail Polish Removing Oil (HK$190) is the gentler option from the same range.
