Pro Tips
Ensure each layer of polish is completely dry before applying the next to avoid smudging.
Use quick, steady strokes for the spiderweb designs to keep lines clean.
Practice the skull design on a piece of paper before applying it to your nail for precision.
A matte finish adds an edgy touch to the Halloween theme, but you can opt for a glossy top coat if preferred.
