Costume parties are the perfect venue for experimenting with top beauty trends: nail art and lash extensions.
DIY press-on nails and false lashes add instant drama to Halloween dress-up without the added time or cost these salon treatments require.
Broadway Nails promises a salon-perfect manicure in minutes with its line of press-on nails available at London Drugs. Priced at $8, each pack contains 24 adhesive-backed nails of various sizes to suit hands small and large.
Halloween imPress nails are available in six patterns: Dazzle Me, a spooky silhouette on orange background with silver-spangled white tips; Hollywood Satin, blood red ombré with bronze-spangled black tips; Kiss Me Cupid, black ombré with silver-spangled tips; Treasure Island, pirate motifs in black and orange; Sweet Pea, jack-o’-lanterns with white tips, and Pucker Up, spiders and webs with black tips (shown).
These imPress nails are designed to lasts up to a week. Press-ons take getting used to, though, and our tester had hers off minutes past the party — no biggie when you’re just a few dollars out of pocket.
Add glam to your Halloween get-up as we did, with Kiss strip lashes in Sultry, Shy or Flirty (shown), $5 a set at Wal-Mart. Trim the band if needed and apply with lash adhesive.
