What You’ll Need
Before you begin, gather the following materials to create your ghost pumpkin nail design:
- Angel Delight gel polish
- ARTY gel in the following colors: white, black, bubblegum, rose gold, and Barbie
- Top it Off gel
- ARTY brushes, sizes 6 and 9
- Your chosen base color for the pumpkin outline
- Nail lamp for curing gel
Tutorial Steps
Step 1: Outline the Pumpkin
Start by selecting a base color for your pumpkin. With your chosen paint, carefully outline the shape of the pumpkin on your nail. The outline will set the stage for your design, so take your time to get a smooth and clean line. Cure the outline using your nail lamp to ensure it stays in place.
Step 2: Fill in the Pumpkin
After curing the outline, it’s time to fill in the pumpkin with your selected gel polish. Make sure to cover the entire outline smoothly and evenly. Once filled, cure the pumpkin design again under the nail lamp to set it.
Step 3: Add Glitter

Now, take your glitter gel paint and paint the lines and stem of the pumpkin. The glitter will give your pumpkin a magical touch. Once you’ve completed this step, cure your design again to lock in the details.
Step 4: Paint the Ghost
Next, with your white gel paint, create a ghost shape that looks like it’s emerging from behind the pumpkin. This playful element adds to the Halloween theme. Make sure to blend it well with your pumpkin. Cure the ghost shape once you’re satisfied with your design.
Step 5: Add Facial Features to the Ghost
Using black gel paint, carefully paint the ghost’s eyes and mouth. This will bring your ghost to life (or afterlife!) and add character to your design. Once you’ve completed this step, cure your nails again.
Step 6: Final Touches
To finish off your ghost pumpkin nail design, paint a small bow with your chosen color and add some stars around the ghost. These little details can elevate your nail art to the next level. After completing your design, make sure to cure everything one last time.
