1
Prepare your nails.

2
Apply base colors.
- Paint the thumb, index, and ring fingers with a silver base.
- Apply orange on the middle and pinky fingers.
- Wait for the polish to dry completely before proceeding.

Create Halloween designs.
- Use a nail stamping plate with Halloween designs and a nail stamper to transfer black cats and bats onto the orange nails.
- For the silver nails, use the detailing brush to paint a haunted house and spider webs, or use appropriate stamping plates.
- Use a dotting tool to add additional details like eyes or dots as needed.

- Carefully tidy up around the edges of the nails to remove any unwanted polish.
Pro Tips

Use liquid latex around your nails for easier cleanup of stamping excess.
Choose a quick-drying top coat to speed up the process.
