Not everyone has time to do a different design on each nail, but I hope this tutorial will inspire you to try something new. Let's get started! Remember, you should always start your manicure with a base coat to protect your nails.

Step 4: Clean the cuticle around your nail by using a brush dipped in non-acetone or acetone nail polish remover. Acetone works better but can dry your skin.
Step 5: Take a big dotting tool or the tip of a bobby pin and create a red dot in the center of the web. You can apply several layers of red nail polish to make this dot stand out.
Step 6: Let the design dry completely.
Step 7: Put a spider sticker in the empty white space and push it into the nail to make it stick completely.
Step 8: Apply top coat.

Step 8: Use a detail brush and add a back lit forest in your moon.
Step 9: Apply two top coats.
Helpful tip: I did two layers of ombre for this mani. Sometimes one layer is enough if your nail polish is well-pigmented. But, sometimes you need to do 3 layers to achieve the result you want. Usually higher-quality nail polishes have better pigmentation which means they will work better for ombre.

Supplies:
- Base coat: Dazzle Dry Base Coat
- White: OPI Alpine Snow
- Red: Dazzle Dry Rapid Red
- Top coat: Dazzle Dry Top Coat
- Trick n Treat Halloween Sticker Combo Pack from What's Up Nails
Directions:
Step 1: Apply base coat and 2 layers of white nail polish.
Step 2: Let it completely dry. You can use fast-drying top coat to make it dry more quickly.
Step 3: Apply a dripping blood stencil on the tip the nail. Tweezers work well for this.
Step 4: Press the stencil onto the nail to make it stick evenly. This will help prevent leaking nail polish under the stencil.

Step 5: Apply red nail polish over the stencil and peel the stencil off immediately afterward for clean lines. Use new or thinned nail polish for better results.
Step 6: Let the design dry completely before you apply your top coat.
