Even if you've chosen your Halloween [1] costume, planned out your makeup, and picked up the right wig, there's still a final touch worth considering. The right nail polish colour [2] can complement and perfect your look, taking it from amateur to expert partygoer.
Whether you plan to go as a scary horror movie clown or pretty Disney princess, going the extra mile and picking the right polish shade might be what wins you that costume contest. After all, Princess Jasmine [3] would never have on a vampy red manicure, and Pennywise [4] would surely stay away from pale blue.
Ahead, check out which polishes will go with this year's most popular costumes.
Jasmine From Aladdin
Princess Jasmine's iconic blue-green ensemble makes her quickly identifiable. Paint on a similar colour to your nails to really make the look convincing. She's royalty too, so if you love luxe-looking glitter polishes, those are totally appropriate.
