  • Orange Gel Polish
  • Black Striping Gel or Polish
  • White Gel Polish
  • Fine Detail Brush
  • Dotting Tool (small)
  • Gel Top Coat
  1. Prep nails, apply a base coat, and then two even coats of vibrant orange gel polish, curing each layer thoroughly.
  2. Using a fine striping brush and black gel polish, carefully paint thin, even horizontal or vertical stripes across the orange base, then cure.
  3. With white gel polish and a small dotting tool, create two tiny dots side-by-side for the ghost's 'eyes'. Use a fine detail brush to outline and fill in an irregular, rounded ghost shape around the eyes, adding a wavy bottom edge. Cure.
  4. Repeat ghost details on chosen nails, allowing for creative placement. Once all designs are complete and cured, apply a durable gel top coat to seal and add high shine.
  5. Cure the top coat thoroughly under an LED/UV lamp, then wipe off any tacky layer with alcohol for a flawless, glossy finish.

Expert Tip

For perfectly crisp black stripes, use striping tape after your orange base is fully cured. Apply the tape, paint black over it, and remove the tape immediately while the polish is still wet for a clean, sharp line, then cure if using gel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will this Orange Black Stripe Ghost design last?

With professional gel polish application and proper aftercare, this design will typically last 2-3 weeks, while traditional lacquer may last 5-7 days.

Can I request different ghost expressions?

Absolutely! Our skilled artists can customize the tiny white ghosts with various expressions, from smiling to slightly spooky, to perfectly match your personal style.

Is this design suitable for shorter nails?

Yes, this design can be beautifully adapted for shorter nails! We might simplify the number of stripes or ghosts per nail to fit the smaller canvas, maintaining its charming essence.

Will the black stripes smudge easily?

If using gel polish, curing each layer completely prevents smudging. With regular polish, allowing sufficient drying time between layers and using a quick-dry top coat will minimize any potential smudges.

Can I add glitter to the design?

Certainly! We can incorporate fine glitter into the orange base, or add iridescent glitter as a subtle accent to the ghosts or stripes for an extra festive sparkle.

Is this considered a 'full set' design or accent nails?

This versatile design can be applied to all nails for a cohesive, festive look, or as accent nails on a few fingers, pairing them with solid orange or black nails for a more subtle approach.

Aftercare Tips

  • Immediately after your appointment, avoid excessive hot water exposure for a few hours if using traditional lacquer.
  • Hydrate your cuticles daily with a nourishing cuticle oil to keep your nails and surrounding skin healthy.
  • Be gentle with your nails; avoid picking or biting to ensure the longevity of the intricate design.
  • If you notice any lifting or chipping, contact your nail technician for a professional fix rather than attempting to repair it yourself.

Safe Removal

  • 1.For gel polish, gently file off the top coat to break the seal, then soak nails in acetone-soaked cotton pads wrapped in foil for 10-15 minutes.
  • 2.Carefully push off softened gel with an orange wood stick, never scraping forcefully.
  • 3.Moisturize nails and cuticles thoroughly after removal to rehydrate and protect your natural nails.
