Recreate this Halloween art look at home

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: Taper the sides inward toward the tip, then file the tip straight across.
  3. Apply base coat and the base color; let it dry or cure fully.
  4. Paint the design with a thin detail brush or dotting tool — start with the largest shapes and add fine details last.
  5. Use nail stickers or stamping plates if you want a quicker version.
  6. Seal with a glossy top coat.
  7. A drop of cuticle oil at the end makes the photo-ready difference.

Pro tip: Designs on one or two accent nails look just as striking and take a fraction of the time.

Pumpkin orange Halloween art nails: FAQ

Can beginners do nail art at home?

Yes — start with dotting tools, striping tape and nail stickers, and keep the detailed design to one accent nail.

Do coffin nails need extensions?

Usually yes — the tapered shape needs some length, so most people use gel-x, acrylic or press-ons.

Does pumpkin orange nail polish suit my skin tone?

Burnt orange and copper shine on warm and deep skin; peach and coral lift fair and neutral skin.
