Happy Halloween!! So, tomorrow is Halloween. I am going share a design which is simply called "Happy Halloween". I know I am too lazy on the naming thing. To
achieve this look, you will need a white creme polish, orange creme polish, a yellow texture polish (of course, yellow creme works too), a black glitter polish, a black creme polish, dotting tools or toothpicks and some Scotch tape.
1. First, apply base coat to all your nails.

1. First, apply base coat to all your nails.
2.
Apply black glitter to the thumb, index and pinky. Apply
white polish to the middle finger. Apply yellow textured polish to the ring finger.
3. Put Scotch tape around your nail of the ring finger. Apply orange polish in the middle of your nail. Paint from left to right to get a straight edge.
4. After it dries, apply white polish on the top part of your nail. Carefully remove the tape.
5. Put scotch tape around your nail of the middle finger. Apply black glitter polish to make the stripes. Carefully remove the tape.
6. Take a piece of Scotch tape and fold it in half with the sticky sides out. Use a pair of scissors to cut out half a circle on the folded side. Unfold the tape and you will have a small hole in the middle. It will be the head of the boo. Continue to cut out the bottom part and both hands.
7. Stick the tape on your thumb and apply white polish on it.
8. Carefully remove the tape.
9. Use a dotting tool or a toothpick to draw the eyes and mouth with black polish.
10. Apply top coat to all of your nails.
Remember to let the polishes dry completely before putting tapes on them. You can apply a thin coat of fast drying top coat before taping if you like. Before taping, stick the Scotch tape to your hand several times to reduce the stickiness of it. If you make mistakes, use a nail art pen to fix it. It doesn't matter if the surface is uneven. A good top coat will smooth it out.

Some alternatives:
Yellow texture polish: You can use a regular yellow creme polish. I chose the texture polish just because I think it might be fun to make a gumdrop candy corn.
Black glitter polish: The black glitter polish used here is actually a black base with green fine glitter in it. It is not very obvious but I think it looks very "Halloween" so I chose it instead of a regular black polish. You can use a regular black creme or a black glitter of your choice.
