Start off by applying a base coat. I used Sally Hansen’s “Double Duty Base and Top Coat”.

Then, paint your nails with a background color of your choice. I chose Jenna Hipp’s “Creme de Cantaloupe”.

Next, with a striping brush and another color of your choice, paint a diagonal line going from one corner of the nail to the next. I used Apple Barrel’s “Black” acrylic paint.

Then, using the same materials, paint two more diagonal lines coming from the same corner but going slightly to towards the top and bottom.

Now, using a liner brush and the same color, connect all the diagonal lines with small curved lines.

I painted three rows of these curved lines on my nails but it depends on the length of your nails.

Lastly, apply a top coat. I used Sally Hansen’s “Advanced Hard as Nails Strengthening Top Coat”.

Your spider web Halloween nails are finished!

First, apply a base coat. I used Sally Hansen’s “Double Duty Base and Top Coat”.

Next, apply an orange nail polish as a base color. I applied two coats of Finger Paints “Tangerine Tint”.

Then, in the center of the nail, create a small black triangle as the nose for the Jack-O-Lanterns. I used Apple Barrel’s “Black” acrylic paint and a liner brush.

Next, towards the top of the nail, paint the eyes. I painted some triangles (right side up for happy, upside down for angry) and some curved lines for a smiling pumpkin. I used the same materials to do this.

Then, for the hard part, the mouths. For the smiling mouth, I found it easier to paint the two curved lines, fill it in with black and then add the orange squares using the same color as your background. For the squiggly mouth, I painted two triangles on both side, connected them with zig zag lines and then filled it in.

Finally, apply a top coat. I used Sally Hansen’s “Advanced Hard as Nails Strengthening Top Coat”.

Your Jack-O-Lantern nails are finished!

First, apply a base coat. I used Sally Hansen’s “Double Duty Base and Top Coat”.

Then, apply a black base color. I used Sinful Colors “Black on Black”.

Next, using an orange color, paint some pumpkins on the bottom portion of the nail. I used Apple Barrel’s “Pumpkin Orange” acrylic paint and a liner brush. To create the pumpkins I made an oval shape with a small line coming out of the top for the stems.

Then, outline the pumpkin shape (except for the stem). I used the same liner brush and I mixed the same orange color and Apple Barrel’s “Yellow” acrylic paint.

Next, create a tree branch at the top of the nail. I did this using the same liner brush and Delta Ceramcoat’s “Autumn Brown” acrylic paint. To do this I painted one longer squiggly line coming out from one side of the nail and then a few smaller squiggly lines coming from the sides of it.

Then, I mixed Craft Smart’s “Crisp Green” and “Light Green” acrylic paint together. I painted some grass in between the pumpkins just by painting some small lines and some leaves coming off the branches simply by slanting my brush and pressing it down where I wanted the leaf.

Next, to add some detail, I went added another color in the center of the leafs and a few more lines in the grass. I used the same liner brush and mixed Craft Smart’s “Light Green” and Apple Barrel’s “Yellow” acrylic paint together.

Finally, add a top coat. I used OPI’s “Matte Top Coat”.

Your fall pumpkin manicure is finished!

Start off by applying a base coat. I used Sally Hansen’s “Double Duty Base and Top Coat”.

Next, apply a base color of your choice. I applied four coats of Forever 21’s “Rose Petal”.

On your thumb and ring finer paint to thin lines going diagonally across the nail. I used a thin striping brush and Apple Barrel’s “Black” acrylic paint.

In between the two diagonal lines, using the same materials, paint Xs.

Next, on the outside of the diagonal lines paint a few C shapes. I used a liner brush and the same acrylic paint.

Then, create some smaller C shapes inside the C shapes previously created.

Next, paint a few small dashes coming out from the top of the C shapes.

For the next design, paint a half moon shape at the bottom of the nail. I used the same acrylic paint and liner brush.

The next shape is a bit difficult to describe, towards the top of nail paint a small curved line, an upside down C shape and then another small curved line.

Next, paint three long oval shapes coming off of the half moon at the bottom of the nail. Try to make these slightly more pointed where they touch the half moon and more rounded at the top.

Then, paint smaller oval shapes inside of the oval shapes just created.

Next, paint some small dashes coming off of and outlining the larger oval shapes.

Then, paint some small dots outlining the odd shape or line towards the top of the nail. I did this using the same liner brush but it would be much easier with a small dotting tool.

Lastly, apply a top coat. I used Sally Hansen’s “Advanced Hard as Nails Strengthening Top Coat”.
