Its September and thus officially the start of spooky season. Since it’s not quite time to break out the bats and tombstones, here’s a suitable manicure for the whole season of autumn.
Step 1.
Paint your nails a neutral background color. I like light orange, but any unobtrusive color will do.
Step 2.
Using a dotting tool, make a round half or partial circle on your nail beds. I like to start small and slowly get larger so my pumpkin doesn’t get out of hand. I aim to make them take up approximately ¾ of my nail bed.
Step 3.
Apply quick dry top coat and allow polish to fully dry.
Step 4.
Using white, outline white highlights on the curve of your pumpkin. I used acrylic paint to get very clean thin lines.
Step 5.
Allow white lines to dry. Repeat with black lines to define the curves of the pumpkin. Top with a cute little stem.
Step 6.
Allow black lines to dry. Top with top coat. Admire your adorable pumpkins!
