Get ready to embrace the spooky spirit of Halloween with this fun and easy nail art design! Whether you’re dressing up or just want to get into the festive mood, these (Matte) Black As Night Ghost Nails are the perfect way to add some flair to your Halloween celebrations.
What You’ll Need:
- Base coat
- Matte top coat
- Black polish (e.g., Black Onyx from OPI)
- White polish (e.g., White Out from Sally Hansen)
- Dotting tool or toothpick
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare Your Base
- Begin by applying a base coat to protect your nails.
- Next, apply two coats of the white polish (White Out). Allow it to dry completely before moving on.
Note: You can choose to create black ghosts on a white background as shown, or reverse the colors for a striking white ghost on black nails—totally up to you!
Step 2: Create the Ghosts
- Using the black polish, create a ruffian design starting about an eighth of a centimeter away from your cuticle.
- Don’t go all the way to the edges; instead, think of it like drawing a smaller black box inside the larger white one.
Step 3: Add the Matte Finish
- Apply a matte top coat over the black polish to give it that ghostly, matte look. Alternatively, you can wait until you’ve added the ghost’s eyes and mouth before applying the matte coat.
Step 4: Detail Your Ghosts
- Use your dotting tool or toothpick to draw the eyes and mouth of your ghost. Small dots for the eyes and a simple curved line for the mouth will bring your spooky creation to life!
Tip: For a fun twist, you can also apply a matte top coat after Step 1 and use a regular top coat for the ghost design, creating a unique contrast.
Conclusion
These (Matte) Black As Night Ghost Nails are an easy and creative way to celebrate Halloween. With just a few simple steps, you can transform your nails into a festive work of art that’s sure to impress. So grab your supplies and get ready to show off your spooky style!
