And it wouldn't be complete without two eyes (using your handy dotting tool) and a mouth (so they can whisper 'boo' to anyone walking by you). For the true party animals out there, show off your stripes at your next Halloween event. First, use a base color and once it dries, use another shade to etch on tapered lines across each nail (making sure to leave space for an animalistic print effect). Draw out the furry feline, but keep the focus on the base of your nails for a twist on the half-moon look. While the thought of a spider crawling on your skin might be your worst nightmare, sporting the creature on your nails is just spooky enough. Use the dotting tool to create the body of the spider and a thin brush to create eight legs.
Black and Neon Green
Although they might look complex at first glance, all you need to land this design is a toothpick and your polishes of choice. And in case you mess up a bit, that's okay—each spot is unique, after all. Keep it simple with these constellation nails painted against a black sky—how Halloween-appropriate. Personalize it by tracing your own astrological constellation as an accent nail.

Black Sparkles
We love a multicolor mani—not only does it save time at the polish wall, it gives us the chance to get super creative with all the colors we crave. Make yours Halloween-themed with a range of oranges, blacks, deep grays, and more for a look you’ll love through autumn. Whether you’re the Queen of Hearts this year or a good, old-fashioned witch, this gold dripping nail art look is to die for. We love a shimmery metallic gold color for this, like FORMULA X’s nail color in Revved Up. For an effortless yet evocative Halloween mani, consider a solid color with a shimmer or chrome finish. This mystical, metallic manicure resembles a magic potion that could very well keep us in eternal youth forever.
Paint them against brown (as shown here) or go even bolder with your brightest colors to really make them pop. Perfect for Halloween, cool enough to wear anytime you’re feeling edgy. What's more, the strategically placed crystals only add to the drama of the simple nail look. If you're looking for a festive Halloween manicure that makes you feel like the chicest vampire, look no further. This glossy nail design has red blood dripping from the tips, and if you look closely, the black base actually has a drip effect, too.
Dark Butterfly Nails
A cat costume is a foolproof choice, so why not try adding a feline-inspired nail design to complete your look? Apply an orange base coat to your nails and use a thin brush to create wavy black lines. Of course, black-and-orange options are at the top of the list when it comes to spooky season nails, but the seasonal manicure possibilities don't end there. All October long, play around with Halloween motifs (think ghouls, goblins, spiders and more), neon tones and embellishments.
Can there be anything more adorable than this nail design for Halloween? I love how both the colors match so well with each other and the overall design looks so cute ðŸ˜. Let’s start off with a simple Halloween nail design that is irresistibly cute!
Keep your nails pretty bare, and paint on as many kitties as you like. This one’s proof that Halloween can give you cute, fuzzy feels, too. Did you know there are different Halloween styles you can categorize yourself under? Celebrate a classic Halloween throwback with these brightly colored nails. Draw a circle at the tip of your nail with black polish and then add two triangles to the top to make cat ears.
It looks perfect and matches the spooky vibes for the season perfectly. Another design with children’s book type of illustrations — after all, Halloween is largely child focused holiday. Your kids will love these adorable ghostly nails by @ljc_nails, which you can draw on with this white nail pen over whatever nail color you want. These cat claw inspired-nails by @ritaremark for essie are super easy. All you need to do is trace a triangle with a black pen or essie’s Licorice and then fill it in. You can do a coat of essie’s shade called Ladylike before you draw them on to make your nails really shine.
Bring an all-black mani to the next level with a bright orange pumpkin on your ring finger. After you draw on a black French tip, extend the black paint down to the nail base in a zig-zag pattern, emulating strikes of lightning. Once that has dried, go back in to define the zig-zags with gold polish for an extra-spooky look.

With Halloween just around the corner, a costume might be on your mind. Whether you're looking to complement your dress-up or are searching for an alternative way to celebrate this spooky time of year, give nail art a try. From pumpkins to spiders to black cats to witches, there is a myriad of potential ideas available at your fingertips. This skull cameo mani is actually three-dimensional and made using acrylic powder (so it’s best to leave it to the pros). A matte topcoat gives it a vintage effect that’s worthy of a permanent place in your nail art wardrobe. With reds, pinks, greens, and blues this super fun nail look will have all eyes on you.
Movies give us endless beauty inspiration (think Barbie nails), so why not channel your favorite scary flicks with inspired nail art? This look features the classic Ghostbusters insignia and Slimer on the one hand, while the other shows the outline and eye of the titular Candyman character. The micro French manicure is in and October is the perfect time to dive into the trend.
Make sure your nails are the star of the show with tons of neon nail art. Orange is always a seasonally appropriate color — but it's made even more holiday-ready with a ghostly twist. When you're sorting out your Halloween 2020 look, don't forget about your nails. This year is all about pink (we’re looking at you Versace!), and we want our Halloween nail art to be on point. Whether you’re going as Beetlejuice or just want to get into the Halloween spirit while still remaining subtle, these nails are the right amount of spooky. If you're not into a full Halloween getup this year, go for a sparkly glitter-dipped manicure for a still seasonally appropriate look.
