Essentials for Any Halloween Costume

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UK chapter.

Looking for all the right accessories to make this year’s Halloween costume pop? Here are some suggestions that helped me out this spooky season.

 

 

  • Kiss Salon Acrylic Natural Nails

You can get the package without any color and paint them the nail polish shade of your choice! This way you don’t have to spend the extra bucks on the fancy ones and you can change you mind on what color you want a bunch of times before you actually paint them. I have had these nails on for a few days and have had little to no issues with them staying on and they look fabulous. Also, I am not a huge fan of fake nails so me hyping up these ones is a sign that they are worth a few dollars.

 

 

  • Fake Blood

To make your costume one-of-a-kind and realistic, fake blood does a terrifying job. Since my roommate and I were going as characters from the Movie Purge, we had to douse our shirts in fake blood that we found at a Halloween Spirit store. This fake blood was no more than four dollars.

 

 

  • Over the Knee Black Boots

These pull together any Halloween costume! Even if one night you aren’t looking to be completely dressed up, knee high black boots can spice any costume up. For my first Halloween costume, I rocked the Purge look and for the second one, I just threw on a jersey with those shoes and they made the whole outfit come together.

 

 

  • False Eyelashes

I have never been a huge fan of fake nails or false eyelashes but they definitely might help when trying to pull together all the details for the look you are going for this spooky season. My false eyelashes, from the brand Kiss, were super easy to apply and remove which makes me like them even more.
