Personally, I’m of the belief that Halloween is not just a day, it’s a feeling. I’ve been listening to Rihanna – Disturbia for weeks and have developed a minor addiction to Haribo Scaremix. Whether you’re a one-day-only or an all-spooky-season-long kinda person, these nails will coordinate with your costume and are totally wearable afterwards. Think of them like Jeykll and Hyde.

1 If you're dressing as: An alien
Go with: Chrome
Fancy dress has lead me to believe that everything in space is metallic – and an alien’s mani is obviously no different. Chrome powder is rubbed over cured gel polish with an eyeshadow applicator to get that mirrored effect. V extra-terrestrial. V Area 51.

2 If you're dressing as: A zombie bride
Go with: Ombre
Forget the zombie part, bridal means classic glam and classic glam means ombre. Not one for natural nails, ombre – also known as ‘baby boomer nails’ – uses acrylic to get a soft fade from white to nude. Add metallic embellishments for a little something extra.

3 If you're dressing as: A vampire
Go with: French drip
I know what you’re thinking, these are too “Halloween-y” to wear into November. Well, you’re wrong, “French drip” is now a certified Instagram-trend – thanks to Kylie Jenner’s post last month. Came through drippin’.

4 If you're dressing as: A clown
Go with: Red
Pennywise – from It – is 2019’s top-searched costume, according to Google, which is literally my worst nightmare. Yes, I hate clowns. I feel like Pennywise is a red, stiletto kinda clown – you just get a feel for these things, you know?
