Our easiest Halloween look ever, these glow in the dark alien nails make a strong statement! Bright highlighter neon dip powder grabs attention in daylight, but the real magic begins when the lights go out and this mani takes on an otherworldly glow. If you're looking for last minute Halloween ideas, this mani is perfect in its simplicity. You only need two color powders to master inter-planetary nails.
PRO TIP: Make sure you thoroughly prep nails to ensure adhesion & long-lasting wear! Push back cuticles, create a rough texture on the nail plate by filing, and sanitize thoroughly.
