Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails.
Clean your nails with a nail polish remover to remove any old polish and oils.
Shape your nails using a file to your desired length and shape.
Apply a base coat to protect your nails and let it dry completely.
2
Apply the base color.
Paint all nails with a black polish as the base color.
Allow the black polish to dry fully before applying any nail art.
3
Create the designs.
Use a fine detail brush and white polish to paint a ghost on one nail.
For the jack-o-lantern, use orange polish to paint a pumpkin shape and add details with black using a fine brush.
Paint a spooky scene with a moon using orange and gold, adding silhouettes of trees and a witch using black and white.
Create a spider web using a thin nail art tape or a fine brush with white polish.

Final touches.
Use a dotting tool to add small dots in contrasting colors around the designs for added detail.
Carefully clean up any excess polish around the nail edges with a small brush dipped in nail polish remover.
5
Seal the design.
Apply a clear top coat to all nails to seal in the design and add shine.
Allow the top coat to dry completely for a long-lasting finish.
Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before moving to the next step to prevent smudging.
Use stickers or stencils if fine art brushes are challenging for detailed designs.
Keep your hands steady by resting them on a flat surface while painting detailed designs.
For a more vibrant jack-o-lantern, consider using a neon orange polish.
