How to Paint Halloween Gel Nails
- Paint your base coat and cure.
- Paint two layers of your foundation colours – cure in between each layer and after.
- Stamp your spider web design onto your forefinger (to learn more about how to stamp nail art click here)
- Create an ombre fade on your pinky by painting a makeup sponge with your fade colours and dabbing it over the nail. (click here for a more in-depth ombre fade tutorial)
- Cure your first ombre layer and repeat again – remember to dab off any excess paint from your sponge first and move across the nail in a zig zag motion to properly blend the two colours.
- Once you’re happy with the ombre blend, add a matte top coat to your ring finger and cure those two nails.
- Using a dotting tool place three dots of black posh at various heights close to the tips of your ring finger nail. Drag the polish down using a smaller dotting tool to form water droplet shapes.
- Cap the tip of your nail with black polish connecting the drips and cure.
- Topcoat all nails apart from the ring finger – for this trace over the black drips with your dotting tool coated in topcoat to keep the rest of the nail matte effect!
