Before you begin:

Apply a thin layer of pink gel polish to the nail and cure.
Apply a layer of cat eye gel polish over the base. Use a magnet to create the desired cat eye effect, then cure thoroughly.
Rub in white chrome powder while the surface is ready for application, creating a smooth, luminous finish.
Prepare a small amount of 3D nail art gel. Using a fine liner brush, carefully sculpt and outline the ghost’s body to create a raised 3D effect. Cure thoroughly.

Step 1

Create the Mummy. Using a pink nail art pen, draw a series of curved and irregular strips across the nail to create the mummy’s wrapped body.

Step 2

Finish the mummy design by adding two small black eyes.

Step 3

Paint two small black eyes on the ghost design. Then, add two tiny dots of pink blush to the cheeks to give the ghost an extra-cute finish.

Step 4

Paint the Spider Web by starting with a small pink heart as the centre detail. From the heart, draw several straight lines radiating outward.

Step 5

Connect the lines one by one with curved strokes to form a delicate spider web pattern.

Step 6

Paint the Droplet Design: using pink nail art pen, create small teardrop-shaped details on the nail. Keep the strokes smooth and slightly tapered to achieve a clean, dimensional-looking finish.
