19 Halloween Nail Art Ideas Ranging From Spooky To Pretty To Vampy

These adorable jack o’lanterns and ghosts designed by @naileditbeauty will look so cute for Halloween. Since the design is just on two accent nails, it’s not too overwhelming of a pattern. They look really festive and sleek. These stampers can be used for the French tips if you’re doing this at home.

If orange isn’t really your favorite color, you can always opt for some black and white nails, like these ones by Bellacures. Bats, spider webs, skulls, etcetera are all black Halloween-ish things that will look really fun on your nails but aren’t a super bright color either.

This look is subtle AF. These little eyes are kind of spooky but you wouldn’t realize till you stopped and looked at your nails for a second. If you like having nails that can match any outfit, these Bellacures nails are perfect, and you can achieve this simple Halloween nail art design by using a black dotting pen.

The details on these ghosts is what really makes the design so cool. You can see they sort of drape as if they’re actually little sheets sitting on your nails. To copy this look from @naileditbeauty, you can paint white ghostly shapes on your nails and draw the eyes and outline them with this brush.

These cat claw inspired-nails by @riteremark for essie are super easy. All you need to do is trace a triangle with a black pen or Wssie’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.

Sometimes people forget that purple is a Halloween color, but not @bycheznails, who created this design. Purple is really one of the best Halloween colors because it’s a little more subtle than orange, but still colorful. You can do a lot with it and really make your nails stand out. Stencils like these ones can help you draw out little bats, spider webs and more on your nails in different shades of purple.

Jack O’Lanterns, bats, spider webs, mummies, ghosts dressed as devils — this design y @nails.by.pk really has every Halloween creature you could ever need. Stencils and thin nail art brushes will be your best friend while drawing these.

A fine detail brush will definitely be necessary for these nails by @onenailtorulethemall. These cute designs of pumpkins, ghosts, witches, and moons look like illustrations from a children’s book. You can paint them on top of a clear coat which makes it simpler.

If you don’t have the steadiest hand for fine details, this design by @ljc_nails would be best achieved with this pack of stickers, which includes some leaves and pumpkins.

If you like the bloody nails idea but would rather they be on a few accent nails, you can do this design by @coffin.nail.and.beauty instead. For these, try using a darker color like Forever Yummy.

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.

This design by @stephstonenails and essie might be difficult to do on your own nails, but it’s worth a try. The brand recommends you get the smoky effect down by mixing their shade Now or Never with acetone.
