Tips for Beginners:

Use Tape: For clean lines and shapes, use tape to mask off areas. This helps create crisp designs without needing a steady hand.
Nail Art Stickers: These are an easy way to add designs without painting. Just apply them over a dry base coat.
Dotting Tools: For simple patterns like dots or ghosts, use a dotting tool or the end of a bobby pin.
Practice: Don’t be afraid to practice on a few nails before committing to all your fingers. Nail polish remover can fix any mistakes!

These designs are perfect for getting into the Halloween spirit while keeping things simple. Have fun experimenting with different looks!
