Summer witch nails are a trendy and bold manicure style that has gained popularity in recent years. This unique nail art combines elements of summer and witchy aesthetics to create a striking and mysterious look. The concept of summer witch nails revolves around incorporating various symbols, colors, and designs that are associated with both summer and witchcraft. This can include elements like the sun, moon, stars, flowers, crystals, owls, and witchy symbols like pentagrams and spell books. These elements are often combined in intricate patterns or used as standalone symbols to create a visually appealing and magical effect. One of the defining features of summer witch nails is the use of vibrant and bold colors.

Rainbow Six Siege Doktor's Curse Halloween event is live and Frost is horrifying

Like a lot of games this season, Rainbow Six Siege is officially dressed for Halloween. The Doktor's Curse event is live now and runs through November 6, giving you plenty of time to take part in the festivities. Throughout the event period, you'll be able to team up with friends as either Monsters or Exterminators for 5v5 hide-and-seek matches in a Halloween-themed version of the Theme Park map.

Visually, the re-skinned monsters are where it's at. Smoke, Kapkan, Frost, Lesion, and Ela each come dressed for the occasion, and some of them are truly unsettling. Frost in particular, with her gaping, crowded mouth of shark teeth, terrifies me (and also reminds me of Melina from Mortal Kombat).

Here's some silly lore behind the event: "Something’s not quite right with Doc. Soon after Theme Park closed, he moved in and made the castle his home, where he performs all sorts of disturbing experiments. In the end, he created something more evil than he intended. The place is now crawling with Monsters, and a band of Exterminators have been called in to reclaim it. Will they be able to return things to normal, or will the fiends live to terrorize another day?"

The objective for either team is exactly what you expect, but I'll break it down for you anyway. Exterminators are there to kill every monster, and monsters just want to survive and be left alone. Actually, monsters have a unique ability called Nightstride that speeds them up and makes them invisible for a short time, as well as their usual traps, to fight for their survival against the exterminators, who come equipped with special versions of Sledge's hammer and three unique gadgets to choose from.

The Doktor's Curse collection lets you buy event items including skins and charms for the monsters and exterminators. Simply log in during the event period and get the Doktor's Curse Collection pack, and pick up two additional collection packs by hitting a 20-score kill count and winning 13 rounds in the Doktor's Curse playlist.

One of the defining features of summer witch nails is the use of vibrant and bold colors. Summer-themed colors like bright oranges, yellows, and pinks are often combined with dark and earthy hues like black, deep blues, and purples to create a contrast that enhances the mystical vibe of the manicure. These colors can be used as a base for nail polish or incorporated into the design through nail art techniques like ombre, gradients, or marbling.

Set in the Doktor’s Castle, the hide-and-seek game mode introduces new “creatures” – the name given to the operators for this game mode – as well as new horror-themed skins being available. During four rounds of two minutes each, the player takes on the role of either hunter or monster.

Doktor’s Curse, which sees the multiplayer game’s operators take on the roles of monster versus hunter in a 5v5 game of hide and seek, will run until November 2 and will feature some new operators for each team.

Oryx will join the hunters team this year whilst Azami, Nomad, Thorn and Gridlock will be joining the team of monsters. Hunters will be armed with hammers and a variety of tracking devices, tasked with finding the monsters inside the castle.

The monsters don’t have weapons, but instead can use traps and a powder – which grants temporary invisibility as well as a speed boost – called Nightstride to avoid and distract the hunters.

The Doktor’s Curse collection contains new bundles for each of the operators included in the event, with additional bundles available for Pulse, Kaid and Melusi. The Wicked Surgery bundle, the Incorporeal bundle and the Flayed Pain bundle are also available at a cost of 300 R6 credits or 12,500 renown.

Just for logging in at any point during the Doktor’s Curse event, players will receive one free Doktor’s Curse pack, and can earn three more over the course of the event by completing weekly challenges.

Monsters must hide to survive the night from the Attacking Hunters. The Hunters will only have Breaching Hammers as weapons and one tracking gadget, each attached to a unique operator skin. Their goal will be to find the Monsters and take them out of the Castle. On the other side, the defending Monsters have no weapons but can use traps and a unique ability created for this mode: Nightstride, which lets them become momentarily invisible and run faster to escape and hide.

Reviews for "Magical Summer Nails: Witchy Designs for the Season"

1. John - ★☆☆☆☆

I was extremely disappointed with the "Summer witch nails" that I got. The design looked nothing like what was advertised, and the colors were completely off. The nail technician did a sloppy job, with polish spilling onto my cuticles and uneven edges. Additionally, the nails started chipping within a day of getting them done. Overall, I would not recommend this nail salon if you're looking for quality and accuracy.

2. Samantha - ★★☆☆☆

I had high hopes for "Summer witch nails," but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The design was cute, but the execution was lacking. The nails were not filed evenly, and the polish ended up looking streaky and uneven. I also felt that the pricing was a bit too high for the subpar service I received. I wouldn't consider going back for another nail design in the future.

3. Lisa - ★★☆☆☆

While "Summer witch nails" sounded like a fun and unique concept, I was left unimpressed with the end result. The design looked messy and rushed, with visible brush strokes and smudging. The nail technician also didn't take the time to properly clean up around the nails, resulting in a sloppy overall look. For the price I paid, I expected a much better quality service. Sadly, I won't be returning to this salon for my next manicure.

4. Michael - ★☆☆☆☆

The "Summer witch nails" I got were a complete disaster. The design was nothing like what I had asked for, and the color choices were hideous. The nails were also filed too thin, and they felt weak and prone to breaking. The nail technician seemed inexperienced and didn't pay attention to detail. It was a waste of time and money, and I will definitely not be recommending this nail salon to anyone.
