# Design Instructions:

01 - Select nail tips that fit each finger sidewall-to-sidewall. File for a stiletto shape and gently soften the points. Remove all filing dust.
02 - Place each tip on a nail stand using mounting putty. Arrange them in correct finger order, ensuring the clean underside is ready for later application.
03 - Apply a thin base coat. Once dry, add 1–2 thin coats of sheer nude-pink polish to the thumb, index, ring, and little-finger tips for a translucent base. Allow each coat to dry fully.
04 - Using burgundy shimmer polish, paint a curved tip covering the pointed outer third of each nail. Apply a second coat if needed for opacity and let dry.
05 - Apply 1–2 thin coats of burgundy shimmer polish to the entire middle nail tip and allow to dry.
06 - Outline the edge of the middle nail with metallic blue polish and paint a curved blue band near the midpoint to divide the nail. Let dry.
07 - With a fine liner brush and white or silver nail-art polish, paint slender lines radiating from the pointed ends and connect them with curved cross-lines to create delicate webs. Apply on burgundy tips and the middle nail.
08 - Coat approximately the outer third to two-fifths of the thumbnail with opaque white polish, creating a softly curved smile line. Two coats may be necessary.
09 - With black polish, paint four bent legs on each side of the area where the spider charm will be placed, ensuring the legs converge under the future gem positions.
10 - Carefully apply a glossy top coat to all painted designs, using light pressure to avoid smearing lines. Allow the top coat to dry thoroughly before adding embellishments.
11 - Apply nail-art adhesive along the base of each burgundy French tip on index and little finger. Secure curved silver bands and add a fine microbead chain along the upper side, trimming to fit.
12 - Along the pink base just below each silver border, attach a row of small aqua rhinestones, fitted closely without overlap.
13 - Glue a dark oval gem for the spider abdomen and a small black round gem as the head where the legs meet. On the white tip, scatter a few medium and small rhinestones or silver beads, keeping space between for a light clustered look.
14 - Position the premade Spider-Man-style charm over the ring finger tip with its face toward the fingertip. Secure with adhesive according to instructions.
15 - Allow full setting time for adhesives. Avoid top coat over rhinestone faces or the character charm to maintain brilliance; if needed, seal gently around the base only.
16 - Carefully remove tips from stands. Prepare natural nails per press-on adhesive instructions. Attach each tip, pressing on the non-embellished surface. Finish with cuticle oil.

# Design Notes:

01 - Decorate nail tips before applying to achieve the most precise web lines and accurate charm placement.
02 - Using premade 3D charms ensures secure application and reduces the risk of embellishments catching or detaching.
