Halloween Night Nails
If cute and charming is more your style than creepy and chilling, start with a nude pink canvas on your nails. Next, add a mysterious cast of midnight-dark characters for All-Hallow’s Eve. Here, a black cat, a ghost, and a single watchful eye spy while the moon and stars cross the sky.
Cute Halloween Symbols
What do a cheerful skeleton, a wary spider, fluttering bats, and floating ghosts have in common? They’re part of a charming orange and black manicure for the holiday. This fusion of beloved Halloween symbols casts a spell that’s perfect for all ages.
French Tips with a Halloween Twist
We love these French tips with a stealthy Halloween theme. Each hand has a festive accent nail appropriate to the season. It’s an ideal way to stay stylish and still join in the fun!
Complete the French manicure first. Then grab a fine-tipped nail art brush, silver, and black polish to add the mummy and ghost. It’s easiest to draw the white parts first, then the silver, and finally the black. Make sure each addition is dry before painting the next. Wrap up with a glossy top coat.
Expressive Jack-o-Lantern Nails
This vibrant, spirited manicure is an ode to Halloween's most iconic symbol. Each nail has its own expressive jack-o’-lantern. If you were to re-create this look, what array of mischievous moods would decorate your fingertips?
Furthermore, you can liven things up further with reflective orange glitter polish. It will guarantee that your nails are the center of attention!

Black Tips with Spiderweb Accents
These nails are delicate, refined, and chic – perfect for a Halloween party or a discreet look at the office. Most gel polish has a glossy finish. But you can apply a matte top coat for this sophisticated finish that will make you the belle of the costume ball.

Sharp and Bloody Stilettos
Dig in and let your inner monster out to play. Make people wonder what you’ve been up to with these macabre stilettos coated with glittery blood-red polish.
Peeping Eyes
Wide-eyed, white peepers appear on each nail. This whimsical Halloween nail design is a nostalgic nod to Scooby Doo.
Glow-in-the-Dark Frankenstein Nails
Here’s an adorable version of the legendary monster. Frankenstein's visage graces one finger. But the eerie face is made less threatening with silly crossed eyes. The other nails are a tribute to the creature's sewn-together form. Little black stitches “hold on” the remaining fingertips.

Holy Bat Nails
Here’s an excellent option for those who need a low-key holiday manicure. It’s discrete, charming, and just a tiny bit creepy. “Peek-a-boo", say the little bats peering from the tips. Feel free to summon extra Halloween vibes with orange instead of purple for the background.
Mummies with Googly Eyes
Here’s a spooktacular addition to your Halloween ensemble. Each nail has bandages painted over a neutral base. These faux windings crisscross and create the illusion of mummified fingertips. But the real charm lies in the googly eyes peering out from the bandages for a humorous touch. (Attach them as you would any other nail charm, with nail glue or gem sealer).
How to Create Spooky Halloween Nails the Easy Way
Not everyone is confident enough to hand-draw intricate Halloween motifs like ghosts, cats, or spiders, especially with the unwieldy brush that comes with a standard nail polish bottle.
Instead, try your hand at drawing with line art gel. In the first place, it comes with a slender brush that’s perfect for precise lines and details. This magic wand will let you take nail art to new heights.
And second, line art gel is nearly odor-free, making it a pleasure to work with. It won’t dry until it’s cured in a nail lamp, so you have all the time you need to work on the design. Lastly, it’s easy to wipe off and start over if you’re not satisfied with the results.
Moreover, you can use press-on nails, decals, and nail stickers for quick and easy holiday manicures.
For best results with stickers, apply a base coat first and let it dry. Then, use tweezers to decorate with stickers. Finally, seal everything with a top coat.
How to Touch-Up Halloween Nails
Oh no, the most terrifying thing has happened! Somehow, your ghoulishly good manicure was damaged. How can you touch up Halloween nails without harming the design?
If you have time, stop by the salon and let the pros work their magic.
Otherwise, grab nail polish remover, matching polish, top coat, and a nail art brush or toothpick. Carefully dab the affected area with the remover using the most appropriately sized tool. Try to blur the smudge or chip without removing the other polish. Let it dry.
Decide if you need to paint to restore the nail's appearance. If not, apply the top coat, and you're done. Otherwise, things may get tricky if you need to redo part of the design. Above all, remain patient and give it a go. If the worst happens, you can take off all the polish and paint the nail a solid color. If the design looks uneven, make a matching accent nail on the other hand. Now you don't have to be scared anymore!
