1
Prepare your nails.

Apply the base colors.
- Paint all nails with a matte black polish as the base layer.
- On one or two accent nails, create an orange gradient by applying orange polish to the tips and blending downward.
3
Create the Halloween-themed art.
- Use a white polish and fine brush or a dotting tool to draw ghostly figures and crescent moons on selected nails.
- Use nail stickers or a stencil to paint a witch silhouette on the gradient nail.

Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is fully dry before moving on to the next to prevent smudging.
Use a small piece of sponge to blend the orange gradient for a smooth transition.
Practice the more intricate designs on a piece of paper before applying them to the nail.
Keep a steady hand and switch to a dotting tool for more precision when drawing small details.
