File your nails to your desired shape.
Apply a base coat to protect your natural nails.

Add orange and yellow stripes, alternating on each nail.
Use a thin brush to apply the colors neatly.

Add the black cat silhouettes
Use black nail stickers or a thin brush to create black cat silhouettes on the striped nails.
Ensure the designs are centered on the nails.

Pro Tips
Let each layer of polish dry completely before adding the next to prevent smudging.
Use peel-off tape around your nails to ensure a clean edge while painting.
If using freehand techniques, practice on a piece of paper first to steady your hand.
For detailed designs like cats or webs, use decals if you're not confident in freehand painting.
