You will need:

  • Black gel polish or colour gel.
  • White gel paint.
  • Top coat.
Step 1
Paint a thin layer of black gel polish or colour gel over the entire nail (I used Light Elegance Buttercream in Black Tie). Cure.
Step 2
Using white gel paint (I used Light Elegance Gel Paint in Primary White), paint a small circle and stretch this out to create the Ghostface mouth area. Then, add two small circles to create the cheek area. Once the first shape is created, repeat this across the nail as shown. Cure.
Step 3
Using the black gel polish or colour gel, paint a kidney bean shape for the eyes of each Ghostface, an upside-down heart for each nose and for each mouth, imagine a coloured-in number 8 or infinity symbol. Cure.
Step 4
Use a fine liner brush and the black gel polish or colour gel to create thin lines around the cheeks and add definition to each face. Cure, apply top coat and cure to finish.
