Pro Tips
Ensure each layer is dry before moving to the next step to prevent smudging.
For a smoother gradient, practice blending on a piece of paper before applying to your nails.

Experiment with different colors to personalize the design while keeping the Halloween theme.
Practice your brush control on a nail wheel or fake nails if you're a beginner.
