Six ways to build a witchy set. Pick one hero nail and keep the rest simple.

Build the look in four steps

Start dark, add movement, then add one detail.

1. Start in the darkTwo thin coats of Super Black or a deep plum, forest green or midnight shade. Cure each coat. Cat eye and mystical gels read deepest over a dark ground.
2. Add a magnetic pull MagnetPaint a thin coat of Midnight Mirage or Mystical gel on one nail at a time. Hold the magnet close for a few seconds, then cure that nail right away.
3. Hide a secretUse an Under Flashlight gel on a ring finger. It has a reactive pigment that reveals a hidden glow when a phone light shines on it.
4. Finish with a detailAdd a thin web with Spider Design Gel or a small sticker, then seal with Diamond No Wipe Top Coat.
