- Prep nails, apply a gel base coat, and cure. Apply two even coats of vibrant orange gel polish, curing after each layer to ensure full opacity.
- Using a fine detail brush and black gel polish, carefully paint the silhouette of a black cat on an accent nail (or multiple nails). Focus on creating distinct ears, a rounded back, and a tail.
- Once the black cat is cured, switch to white gel polish and the detail brush. Paint a crescent moon or a small full moon next to the cat, curing once finished.
- For added sparkle, optionally add tiny white dots for stars around the moon and cat, curing them in place.
- Finish the entire design with a high-shine gel top coat, ensuring it encapsulates all the details, and cure for the final time. Cleanse with isopropyl alcohol if using a tacky top coat.

Expert Tip
To achieve crisp black cat silhouettes and clean white moon details, ensure your orange base color is completely cured and dry before applying any details. Use a steady hand with a very fine detail brush, and apply thin layers of black and white polish to prevent smudging or bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular nail polish for this design?
Yes, but ensure each layer is completely dry before moving to the next step. Gel polish offers better durability and vibrant colors for freehand art.
How can I make the black cat perfect if I'm not good at freehand?
You can use small black cat nail stencils or decals. Alternatively, practice painting simple cat silhouettes on a nail practice mat first.
What if my white moon isn't perfectly round?
That's perfectly fine! A slightly imperfect or 'rustic' moon can add to the charm. You can also use a small dotting tool to create a half-circle, then fill it in.
How long will this design typically last?
With gel polish and proper application/aftercare, this design can last 2-3 weeks. Regular polish might last 5-7 days.
Can I add glitter to the orange base?
Absolutely! A fine orange or iridescent glitter mixed into the orange gel or applied before the top coat would add extra sparkle and festive flair.
Is this design suitable for shorter nails?
Yes, but you might simplify the black cat detail or place the moon on a separate nail to accommodate less space.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Hydrate cuticles daily with cuticle oil to keep them healthy and prevent lifting.
- ✓Moisturize hands regularly to maintain overall nail and skin health.
- ✓Avoid prolonged soaking in water, which can weaken polish adhesion.
Safe Removal
- 1.Gently file off the top coat to break the seal.
- 2.Soak cotton pads in 100% acetone, place them on each nail, and wrap with foil for 10-15 minutes.
- 3.Gently push off softened gel with an orange wood stick; never forcefully scrape.
