Candy Corn Nails

Hey everyone! It’s October (one of the best months tbh) and I’m going to have 4 Halloween nail tutorials for your enjoyment (and mine)! The first is the classic candy corn nail. I got a lot of compliments on these so I was pretty proud lol.

The colors I used for this design were Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri in “Lightening” (#280), Xtreme Wear in “White On” (#300), and Triple Shine in the colors “Taheati” (#620) and “Pearly White (#300).

This design is really easy and there are several alterations you can make to it. Last year, I used the same colors, except a lighter shade of orange, and no glitter (GASP). This year, I just had to include a glitter top coat.

To get the stripes I free handed it, but you can use tape if you want the lines to be perfectly straight. I started with the yellow base coat, left a little yellow showing at the bottom and painted orange over the rest, and did the same with the white. It’s literally that simple. Then I added the glitter over the whole thing. People have done candy corn gradient (which I promise I’ll do next year), or some people even shape their nail to make it look more like candy (sorry, but that’s one thing I won’t do lol). You can do whatever you want, as long as you like it.

That’s all for now. Sorry about the lack of blogposts, but seriously homework is taking over. I may have a blogpost up Wednesday, but until then BYYEEE
