Halloween is only a few short weeks away, and if you are still wondering how to get into the spirit, nail art is a great way.

While this year may look a little different and a full-on costumes may not be top of mind, why not try your hand at a scary good spider web-themed manicure?

If you aren't sure where to start, not to worry. "Good Morning America" tapped nail technician and vlogger Denise Heavner, better known as Denisejohn65 on YouTube, for her top tips on how to get the look.

"I chose to do spider web nails because I think they are very popular with the whole Halloween theme," Heavner told "GMA." "I wanted to change it up a bit with the neon coloring instead of the common black and orange colors that traditionally go with Halloween.This is one is a hip and an up-to-date spider web."

Step 1: Buff the surface of the nails and apply two layers of 1-step gel black gel polish. Cure each layer under the UV/LED lamp for 1 minute.

Pro Tip: "Remember there is no tacky layer to the one-step gel polish," advises Heavner. "One-step gel polish is quick and it keeps the nails nice, thin and natural looking without adding bulk. Normal gel polishes take more time to apply and can look bulky if not applied thinly because of the additional layers of the base, two layers of color and the top coat."

Step 2: Apply white spider gel and stretch it with a liner brush or a needle tool to create a web. Once each web is done, cure it for one minute.

Step 3: Use a sponge applicator to apply neon pigments on top of each nail web. Brush off any excess powder.

Step 4: Apply a no-wipe top coat to seal in pigments, and cure each nail for one minute.

"The monster who committed this crime is pure evil, pure cruelty, pure hatred -- absolute pure hatred," Trump said after reading the names of the victims killed at Robb Elementary School. Cruz railed against "elites" calling for gun control, telling the crowd: "It is far easier to slander one's political adversaries and to demand that responsible citizens forfeit their constitutional rights than it is to examine the cultural sickness giving birth to unspeakable acts of evil."

For every one person killed in a mass shooting event, a new study estimates that roughly six additional people are seriously injured. The study, published in medical journal JAMA Open on Friday, is a dark reminder that mass public shootings have a cost beyond lives lost, including immense physical and financial burden for those who have sustained injuries and survived. Amid the recent wave of gun violence seen in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, many are dealing with the immediate pain and grief.

Five people were killed and two others were hurt in a house explosion in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, Thursday night, officials said. Four of the five victims killed were children, ABC Philadelphia station WPVI reported. One of the injured is in critical but stable condition, while the second surviving victim is in surgery for unknown injuries, Pottstown Borough Manager Justin Keller said at a Friday press conference.

The head of law enforcement in Texas revealed a cascading series of police missteps in the response to one of the deadliest school shootings in the nation's history. A visibly shaken Col. Steven McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, admitted that mistakes were made on the ground during an active shooter incident at Robb Elementary School on Tuesday, in which 19 children and two teachers were killed by a heavily armed gunman. The missteps began before the shooting, when a Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District police officer responding to a 911 call of a man with a gun on the school campus drove past the suspect, who was "hunkered down" behind a car in the school parking lot, McCraw said.

Thomas Hale-Cusanelli, an alleged Nazi sympathizer and Army reservist who prior to his arrest was working as a private contractor who lived on the base with security clearance at the Naval Weapons Station in New Jersey, was found guilty on five charges ranging from obstruction to disorderly conduct in the Capitol riot case. The jury in this case, however, did not see images of Hale-Cusanelli impersonating an Adolf Hitler-style mustache.

A New York man who was born prematurely 27 years ago and spent 40 days in a neonatal intensive care unit says he plans to go back to the NICU, this time as a doctor specializing in infant care. It's a full-circle moment for Marcus Mosley, who graduated from the CUNY School of Medicine at City College of New York Thursday. Mosley's mother, Pauline Mosley said she remembers what it was like right after her oldest son was born at 26 weeks in December 1995.

The East Coast is bracing for flooding and tornadoes as Memorial Day weekend begins. A tornado watch was issued Friday from North Carolina to Virginia to Maryland. The tornado watch includes the cities of Raleigh, Richmond, Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

A mass shooting on Tuesday at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas — which left 21 dead, including 19 children and two teachers — has renewed fierce debate over how to prevent such a tragedy from happening again. As in the aftermath of past mass shootings, elected officials appear divided over gun control reform. President Joe Biden last week urged Congress to "keep weapons of war off our streets,” drawing support from many Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

Two months before Tuesday's mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two adults dead, the Uvalde school district hosted an all-day training session for local police and other school-based law enforcement officers focused on "active shooter response." "First responders to the active shooter scene will usually be required to place themselves in harm's way," according to a lengthy course description posted online by the Texas agency that developed the training. Now relatives of victims and neighbors of Uvalde's Robb Elementary School are raising questions over how police officers who first arrived on the scene handled the situation -- including whether they followed their own training.

As families continue to grieve the May 14 tragedy, four victims will be laid to rest over the next several days. Talley is remembered by her friends and family "as a beautiful spirit, her dimpled smile and immense love for her family." Celebrated by a long line of children, siblings, nieces and nephews, she will be laid to rest on Friday at the Mount Aaron Missionary Baptist Church in Buffalo.

An asteroid -- the largest to get close to Earth this year -- tumbled past the planet Friday. According to NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies, the "potentially hazardous" asteroid is 1.1 miles long and at least 3,280 feet wide. It crossed into Earth's orbit around 9 a.m. ET.

The nation's largest pro-gun lobby is poised to gather in Texas days after one of the worst mass shootings in recent U.S. history unfolded in the state. Despite demands to cancel the annual meeting in light of the tragedy, the National Rifle Association's Annual Leadership Forum is scheduled to take place in Houston from Friday through Sunday. The pro-gun gathering comes days after authorities said an 18-year-old armed with an AR-15-style rifle opened fire in an elementary school classroom in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and two teachers and wounding 17 people.

Kohl’s is kicking off Memorial Day weekend with their Hello Summer Sale, featuring major savings from multiple categories including home. The home sale collection includes everything from storage and cleaning to furniture, home decor, and bedding.

The four children of Irma and Joe Garcia turned to their faith and community as they attended mass at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Uvalde, Texas, Thursday night. Cristian, Jose, Lyliana and Alysandra Garcia were embraced by Rev. Eduardo Morales and parishioners. Irma was one of two teachers killed in the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde on Tuesday.

Sandy Austin was in her second year working as a school counselor in Colorado in 1999 when two students opened fire at Columbine High School in Littleton, killing 12 of their fellow students and a teacher before turning their guns on themselves. Responding to a district-wide call for counselors, Austin drove to a nearby elementary school where parents and caregivers were gathered to hear whether their children were alive. On Tuesday, when a gunman burst into Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, and killed at least 19 children as well as two adults, Austin said she immediately thought of the mental health support that the survivors, parents, teachers and community will need in the days, weeks and years ahead.

Gun control measures are once again being debated after one of the worst school mass shootings ever has shattered a Texas community. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed Tuesday when a gunman opened fire at an elementary school in Uvalde. Republican lawmakers in the state have repeatedly loosened gun restrictions even after recent mass shootings there.

During a press conference this week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott blamed the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde on mental health issues. Abbott explained that law enforcement believes what's behind these types of attacks is a growing prevalence of people with mental health issues and the need for more mental health support, not lax gun laws. "We as a state, we as a society need to do a better job with mental health," the Republican governor said Wednesday.

The National Rifle Association is not the force it once was -- not with its financial woes and legal troubles, along with infighting and jostling for influence that have come with the changing political landscape. Former President Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz are among the boldfaced GOP names whose presence at the NRA gathering in Houston will confer fresh relevance on the gun lobby. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is expected to give a virtual address.

There was blood in the hallway and children were covered in it, one of the students who survived the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, told ABC News. Salinas was a student in Irma Garcia's fourth-grade class. The gunman, Salvador Ramos, allegedly purchased two assault rifles just days after turning 18 and used them to carry out the second-worst school shooting in U.S. history, killing 21 people, according to authorities.
