Fall brings all kinds of holidays with it. Aside from Thanksgiving, Halloween is the most anticipated day for both kids and adults.

While you may think you’re past the age of dressing up for the occasion, there are still some (like me) who still find joy in the novelty of the act. So why not compromise by dressing up your nails instead?

Halloween is one of my most-awaited holidays. Why?

Because it inspires me! From my makeup to my costumes and down to my nail art design — I LOOOOVE Halloween.
