3. Full moon with spiders and bats

Those seem complicated, but they are actually pretty easy to make: 
1. Apply black\dark blue nail polish, let dry.
2. Take a piece of cotton ball and put very little light blue nail polish on it. Gently touch the tips of the nails with the cotton piece to create the color gradient, starting from the tips and progressing to the middle. Apply more polish in tips.
3. Draw the moon with white nail polish.
4. Use Bat and Spider water nail stickers to create the shapes.
5. Apply a top coat to seal it in place and protect the nail polish.
