With fresh inspiration seen all over the runways, and worn by many a notable face (we’re looking at you Kourtney Kardashian) the luxury gothic inspired trend is making a big comeback right now. That means dark purples, glossy blacks, rich maroons, and wine-coloured hues are all fair game. From there, you can also have lots of fun nail shape, artsy designs and different textures and finishes to complete your look.
Sally Hansen is here to help you recreate that elevated goth vampire inspired look at home, with a range of gorgeous deep and dark shades to choose from. Choose your gothic inspired look here:
Glossy Navy
Taking a cue from the ’80s, models at this year’s Christian Cowan catwalk show had square-shaped nails of all different lengths and dark colours. Try this style shiny navy version with Sally HansenInsta-Dri in Midnight Drive (RRP €6.99/£4.99). Insta-Dri dries in 60 seconds and requires just a single step so you can take that nail look to-go anytime, anywhere. Formulated with a base and top coat for extended wear and full-coverage, streak-free shine.
Brown Tones
Earthy brown tones are great for a chic gothic look, especially when transitioning from Autumn into Winter. Get the look with Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Slick Slate or Buff and Tumble Sally Hansen Miracle Gel nail polish is the only true 2-step gel manicure (just add a shiny or matte top coat) with no light needed. It gives up to 14 days of colour and shine, it’s quick to dry and easy to use.
Full Bodied Wines and Burgundy
If you prefer simplicity, you can never go wrong with a classic wine-hued polish. To achieve this look, try Sally Hansen Good. Kind. Pure. in Grape Vine or Beet It (RRP €10.99/£8.99). The revolutionary new line of nail products is formulated with plant-based, 100% vegan ingredients including marine algae and sustainable bamboo, as well as a plant-based brush which is optimised to work with the new formula, for beautiful colour and shine without compromise.
Deep Red
Nothing says vampire luxe more than bringing back the daring red mani’s—perfect for any occasion and always a great way to spice up your October wardrobe. This season, choose a deeper shade of ruby with a high-shine finish; you’ll think of pumpkin picking and cozy hot chocolate every time you catch a glimpse of those tips.
