Step by Step DIY(Do It Yourself) Guide
1
Prepare your nails with a base coat.
Remove any existing nail polish using remover and cotton pads.
Trim and file nails to the desired length and shape.
Apply a thin base coat to protect your nails and allow it to dry.
2
Apply the primary nail polish colors.
Paint the thumb and ring fingers black for the spider web and pumpkin designs.
Use orange glitter polish for the middle finger and purple glitter polish for the ring finger.
Apply the colors evenly and allow them to dry completely.
3
Create the detailed designs.
Use a fine nail art brush to paint a white spider web on the black nails, adding red dots for the dripping effect.
For the middle finger, paint a cat silhouette with a nail art brush over the orange gradient.
On the ring finger, use a dotting tool to create bats, the word 'BOO', and other symbols using black polish on the purple base.
Add a pumpkin face on the little finger with black polish over the spider web.
4
Seal the design with a top coat.
Apply a matte top coat over all nails to achieve a consistent matte finish.
Allow the top coat to dry thoroughly to ensure the design is sealed.
5
Clean up around the nails.
Dip a small angled brush in acetone.
Carefully clean any polish outside the nail area for a clean look.
Pro Tips
Work in a well-lit area to ensure precision in detailed designs.
Practice the nail art designs on paper first if needed.
For best results, allow each layer of color to dry completely before adding designs.
Using a fast-drying top coat can help speed up the process.
