They created slimy-looking details with glittery green nail polish for added flair.

For something a little more muted, Blue Sky Nails and Lash’s ghost French tips are a cute idea. Like the usual French tip, white polish is added at the tip of the nail. But this time, they’re shaped like ghosts. To play with the negative space, they also tried out pumpkin faces. The design is both cute and clever.
