How To Recreate It

  1. Apply a base coat and then 2 coats of matte black polish. Let dry completely.
  2. Using a thin nail art brush and green polish, paint witch hat shapes on several nails. Vary the hat size and angle for a whimsical look.
  3. Apply purple glitter polish to accent nails or use a dotting tool to strategically place glitter around the base of the witch hats.
  4. Allow the design to dry fully and seal with a top coat to protect the art and add shine (except on the matte base).
  5. Clean up any mistakes with a small brush dipped in nail polish remover.

Common Issues & Fixes

  • Glitter is clumpy.
    Use a thin brush to spread the glitter evenly, or try using a glitter top coat instead of loose glitter.
  • Witch hats look messy.
    Practice the hat shape on paper first. Use a very fine brush and take your time.
  • Matte polish is showing fingerprints.

FAQs

Can I use nail stickers instead of painting the witch hats?

Yes, nail stickers are a great alternative for those who aren't comfortable with freehand painting. Look for witch hat or Halloween-themed stickers.

What's the best way to apply glitter?

For fine glitter, use a glitter polish. For chunky glitter, apply a thin layer of clear polish and then gently press the glitter onto the wet polish.

How do I achieve a perfect matte finish?

Use a dedicated matte top coat over your base color. This will remove the shine and create a velvety finish.

Can I do this design on short nails?

Yes, adapt the size of the witch hats to fit your nail length. Smaller hats will work better on shorter nails.

How can I make the glitter last longer?

Encapsulate the glitter with multiple layers of top coat to prevent it from chipping or peeling off.

What's the best type of nail polish to use for this design?

High-quality opaque black nail polish and a good quality glitter polish will give you the best results.
