Looking for more spooky nail inspo? These jack o'lantern nails may just fit the bill. If I were to try these again, I'd probably freehand the faces, but painter's tape is great if you find it difficult to paint precisely on as small of a canvas as your nails are.
Materials:
*Green nail polish
*Orange nail polish
*Yellow nail polish
*Painter's tape
*X-acto knife
*Nail polish base coat
*Nail polish top coat
Directions:
*Apply nail polish base coat. Let dry.
*Paint nails rose gold, except for the accent nail (or accent nails). Paint those nails orange. Let dry.
*Paint the tips of each nail green. For precise lines, you can use painter's tape as a guide, although you will want to let your nails dry for several hours first, so the painter's tape doesn't peel up the paint. I usually let it dry overnight before applying painter's tape.
*Cut jack o'lantern face shapes out of painter's tape to create a stencil.
*Apply the painter's tape stencil to accent nails. Make sure your nails have been dry for many hours before you apply the painter's tape, to minimize the odds that you'll peel up the tape.
*Paint yellow nail polish over the stencil and then peel up stencil. Let dry.
*Apply a clear top coat. Let dry.
