Posted by Tiana Regan

It's All-Hallows-Eve season. So dust off the box or binder with all of your cute Halloween nails stamping plates because 'tis the dark season!

If black and orange-colored nails aren't your thing and oozing blood drips on bare nails with a nude base and white polish also don't hit the mark for your Halloween manicure, then here's a kawaii-goth inspired manicure featuring a simple black bat stamp.

All of the ideas below have been submitted by clients just like you who have enjoyed our Maniology Halloween nail art stamping plates. That means you can make these nail designs too with just a simple press.
