- Pumpkin orange nail polish
- High-pigment black nail art paint
- Opaque white nail polish
- Ultra-fine detail nail art brush
- High-shine glossy top coat
- Base coat
- Begin with prepped, clean nails. Apply one layer of base coat to protect the natural nail and provide a smooth canvas.
- Apply two thin, even coats of pumpkin orange polish. Allow each coat to dry completely for an opaque, streak-free finish.
- Using an ultra-fine detail brush dipped in black art paint, carefully paint the silhouette of a cat on one or two accent nails. Start with the body and head, then add the tail and ears.
- With the same brush or a small dotting tool, use the white polish to create a small crescent moon near the cat.
- Wait for the artwork to dry completely for at least 5-10 minutes to prevent smearing.
- Float a generous layer of glossy top coat over the entire nail to seal the design and add a brilliant shine.

Expert Tip
For the sharpest cat silhouette, use a high-pigmentation black nail art gel or paint. It provides better control and a single-stroke opaque finish compared to regular nail polish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use nail stickers instead of freehand painting?
Absolutely! Black cat nail decals or stickers are a fantastic, beginner-friendly alternative to achieve a sharp look without needing a steady hand.
What's the best brush to use for the cat?
A long, ultra-thin liner brush, often called a 'striper' brush, is ideal for creating the sleek curves of the cat's arched back and tail in one or two strokes.
How do I ensure the orange base is fully opaque?
The key is to apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat. Allow the first coat to become tacky to the touch (about 2-3 minutes) before applying the second.
Can this Black Nail Art design be done with gel polish?
Yes, this design is perfect for gel polish. Curing the orange base before painting the black cat ensures your artwork will be crisp and smudge-free.
My white moon isn't a perfect crescent. Any tips?
Use a small dotting tool to create a full circle, then use a clean, fine brush dipped in acetone (or nail polish remover) to carefully 'carve out' the crescent shape.
How can I make this design last longer?
Proper nail prep is crucial. Make sure your nails are clean and free of oils before starting. Additionally, 'capping' the free edge of your nail with each coat of polish will help prevent chipping.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, like long baths or saunas, for the first 24 hours.
- ✓Be gentle with your fingertips. Do not use your nails as tools to scrape stickers or open cans.
- ✓If a small chip occurs, carefully dab a tiny amount of the orange polish to fill it, then seal with a top coat.
- ✓Keep your hands and nails moisturized with a quality hand cream.
Safe Removal
- 1.Saturate a cotton ball with an acetone-based nail polish remover.
- 2.Press the saturated cotton firmly onto the nail for 15-20 seconds to dissolve the layers of polish and artwork.
- 3.Wipe downwards from the cuticle to the tip to remove the polish cleanly.
