Tips for Making Pumpkin Nail Art Last

Pumpkin art lives on fine orange outlines and tiny face details, so seal it under a glossy top coat and refresh it every few days to stop the edges lifting first. Orange and yellow pigments can stain pale nails, so never skip base coat, and keep cuticle oil handy — hydrated nails hold detailed hand-painted art far longer through party season.

From one tiny pumpkin on a nude nail to a full stained-glass patch, there is a gourd here for every Halloween style. Pick your favourite, book the appointment, and let your hands join the pumpkin patch.
