Skyy Hadley's DIY Halloween Nails

Halloween is a great time to get super experimental with your nails. Celebrity nail artist Skyy Hadley, who has worked with Faith Evans and Janelle Monae, has the recipe for Halloween nails that is so cool they're scary!

Skyy recommends doing your nails the day before Halloween at home and giving yourself 45 minutes to an hour of time to complete it. Follow Skyy’s DIY stiletto nail tutorial.

1. Sanitize hands and nails.
2. Start out with a square nail by clipping your nail straight across.
3. Clip the uppermost portion of the two sides diagonally into a triangle.
4. With a file, focus on curving the sides evenly to get a teardrop shape that softens the triangle.
5. Whatever you do on one side, do on the other side. For example: If you do three files on one side, do three files on the other so that it looks symmetrical.
