Howling at the Moon

Stuff We Love

Oct. 25, 2025

Your Halloween costume needs one final touch…and Northern Nail Polish has you covered. This Traverse City-based brand is vegan, cruelty free, nontoxic, and long lasting, so you can rock your look even after the Home Depot skeletons come down. Our pick for this week is Howl at the Moon, described as “deep, mysterious polish [that] shimmers with flashes of pink, gold, and green, like moonlight breaking through midnight clouds.” For something a little brighter and lighter, go for Let It Fall (like a sparkly maple leaf) or Golden Hour (orangey and glowy). And all of the above will look extra festive with a top coat of It’s Freakin’ Bats, a glow-in-the-dark topper with golden stars, black bats, and glitter.
