Pro Tips
Work on one nail at a time when applying the nail embellishments to ensure the adhesive is still tacky.
Practice the haunted house design on paper before attempting it on your nails for more precision.
Use a small cleanup brush dipped in nail polish remover to clean around the edges for a neat finish.
Ensure each layer of polish is fully dry before proceeding to the next step to prevent smudging.
