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: File the sides in a straight line toward the center and round the tip softly, like the top of an almond.
  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. Finish with cuticle oil once everything is dry.

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

Black and white 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.

Are almond nails strong?

They are stronger than stiletto because the tip is rounded, but the narrow tip is more fragile than square. Medium length with gel or builder gel is the sweet spot.

Does black and white nail polish suit my skin tone?

Milky whites look fresh on every skin tone; on deeper skin they create a striking, clean contrast.
