After my last post regarding spooky nail art in preparation for Halloween, I thought I'd go on a hunt to find some good products to help create these designs. Although most of you would think of heading to boots or superdrug to buy your nail art necessities, lots of high street brands including River Island and Topshop have a range of nail design products on offer.
I found these nail art gems on www.riverisland.com, and was suprised by the very reasonable £3.50 price tag. Although not all the colours are necessarily suitable for Halloween designs, the red and black gems would be perfect and you can save the rest for other designs in the future.
This Topshop nail art pen is the perfect tool for creating designs on top of your base colour. Webs, spiders, bats and more are all possible with the help of this nifty little pen. Its also available in a range of colours including gold, silver and blue although I personally would opt for the black one to go for the most versatility. At £6.50 I do think its a bit pricey, but it would definitely make creating intricate designs very simple.
These constellation beads from MUA have been designed in a series of 5 colours inspired by the stars of the solar system, and work in the same way as caviar beads. These would be a chic way to add some dark glam to your manicure, but would also work well day to day throughout the autumn/winter seasons. For £3, I think they're well worth a try.
All of these simple and relatively cheap decorative options work well whatever base colour you use, and would also work for any occasion. These are just a few of the nail art products on the market, so go and explore and see what you can find.
