Top 20 Spooky and Fun Halloween Nail Art Ideas
I'm a fashionista with training in fashion buying and design. I have a good eye for creative looks and enjoy sharing them with others.
Spookify Your Talons
Goblins and ghouls, the witching hour is here. Alas, you may not feel like dressing up, but hey, all is not lost. Get your nails Halloween-ready, and nobody will throw rotten pumpkins at you! From creepy eyes to awesome bats, there are some cool ideas here to get you started.
1. Beetlejuice Halloween Nails
How can you not love purple for Halloween?! You can use nail decals to top it up or even apply stickers such as bats or pumpkins.
2. Frankenstein Nails
Black is a very elegant color that will be eye-catching for any party. Jazz it up with a feature nail, for example, zebra stripes.
3. Ghost Halloween Nails
This is really effective for the tips of your nails. All you need for this is red and a thin paintbrush for the black. If you feel like going all out, you could wear a spider woman costume to match.
4. Spooky Nails
These Japanese-style 3D nails are so cute for any festive event. Consult your local salon to get this look, or you can purchase them online.
5. Halloween Red and Black Nails
This is a super cute way to celebrate the festive colors of Halloween!
6. Spooky Bats
If you are dressing up as a witch, these are the perfect nails to accessorize your look.
7. Spider Web Nails
This is a really great look for a Halloween party, and because it's so simple, you'll only need a few minutes to create the web. The rest of the nails can be painted with a glossy black polish.
8. Electric Orange Pumpkins
This is a real showstopper of a Halloween nail design—electric orange pumpkins on a black background. Again this might take a little bit of time to create, but if you get the end result below, then it's definitely worth the extra effort!

You know, I'm generally not one to dress up for Halloween----so for me, these nails would be the perfect ticket!! I wonder if buying little nail decals would do the trick.....with glittery nail polish? Hmmm. You've got my creative juices flowing. I suddenly feel excited about doing my nails for the Holidays, thanks to you! Great ideas here!!!
