Hey girlfriend! If you’re anything like me, you love switching up your nails for the season—and Halloween is the time to go all in. Whether you’re into spooky, glam, creepy, or cute vibes, there’s something about Halloween nails that just makes your outfit pop. I’ve put together a bunch of fun and fabulous Halloween nail ideas that I think you’ll love. Some are bold, some are pretty, and some are a little scary—but all of them are totally worth trying. Let’s get into it!
White Spider Web Nails
I love how classic and clean white spider web nails look. The white detail really pops against a black or nude base. You should ask your nail tech to use a thin brush or stamping tool to get those crisp, delicate web lines. It’s the kind of look that’s spooky, but still super chic. You can even add tiny rhinestones for a little glam!
Blue Nails with Yellow Stars and Black Loop
This one is for my girlies who like a magical, mysterious vibe. The deep blue makes a gorgeous base, and the yellow stars and black loops give it that witchy, night-sky feel. I’d suggest going with a matte top coat to make the stars pop even more. You can totally wear this beyond Halloween too—it’s subtle but still festive.
Spooky Star, Bat, and Ghost Orange, Black & White Nails
This combo screams Halloween in the best way! I think it’s the perfect mix of playful and spooky. Each nail tells its own little story with stars, bats, and cute ghosts. If you’re doing this design, I’d say keep your nails medium or short so the details don’t get lost. You should definitely try this with a glossy finish for that extra shine!
Orange & Black Ghost Nails with Accent Black Glitter Nail
This one’s a Halloween classic with a twist—ghosts, black polish, and glitter? Yes, please! I love the way the glitter accent adds sparkle without taking away from the spooky fun. You can make the ghosts smiley or scary depending on your mood. I think short square nails work best for this design.
Short Killer Clown Joker Nails
If you’re going for a creepy-cute vibe, these clown-inspired nails are it. Think bold reds, whites, and pops of black with fun patterns or even a tiny clown face. I’d keep them short and square for a cartoonish look that’s more fun than frightening. Don’t forget to add a matte top coat to make them extra edgy!
Orange, Black, Beige Scary Cat & Pumpkin
This color combo is everything for fall! I love mixing orange and black with a soft beige—it makes the spooky designs like cats and pumpkins really stand out. You should go for hand-drawn art if possible for that cute, imperfect Halloween charm. I’d do this on almond-shaped nails for a soft, witchy look.
Green Ghost & Pink Spider Nails
I know this combo sounds a little wild, but trust me—it works! The green and pink make it playful while still giving spooky vibes with the ghost and spider designs. I would use a jelly base polish to keep the colors bright and fun. If you’re someone who likes quirky Halloween nails, this is for you!
Black & Nude Bat and Moon Nails
This design is so sleek and elegant. I think the nude base makes the black bat and moon silhouettes look super crisp and stylish. It’s a great option if you want something spooky but still subtle. You should try this on coffin or almond-shaped nails for a soft yet dramatic finish.
Red Spider Web & Drip Coffin Nails
These nails are giving vampy Halloween queen! The red webs and blood-like drips on a black base are totally glam and gory at the same time. I love this look on long coffin nails—it’s bold, dramatic, and perfect for Halloween parties. Go glossy for that fresh blood effect (if you’re into that!).
Mustard & Black Spooky Pumpkin Super Long Nails
I love how mustard makes this look stand out from all the usual orange Halloween nails. Add some black pumpkins, ghosts, or cats and you’ve got a spooky-chic design. I’d definitely recommend long stiletto nails for this one—it makes the whole look scream high drama!
Matte Orange Nails with added Pumpkin, Leaves & Rhinestones
This is such a pretty take on fall Halloween nails. The matte orange is the perfect base, and adding pumpkins, autumn leaves, and a few rhinestones gives it all the fall feels. I think this look works beautifully on mid-length almond nails. You should try pairing this with cozy sweaters and boots!
Pastel Pink, Purple & White Ghost & Pumpkin Nails
If you’re into pastel Halloween looks (like me!), this one’s for you. The colors are soft and girly, but the little ghosts and pumpkins keep it fun. I would do this design on shorter nails to keep it playful. You should add a bit of sparkle or glitter polish if you want to take it over the top!
Baby Pink & Red with White Ghost
This unexpected combo is giving sweet but scary, and I’m here for it! I love how the white ghost pops against the pink and red. You should try it on square nails with a glossy top coat—it really ties the whole look together. It’s perfect if you want Halloween nails that are cute with a twist.
Different Color Coffin Tips with Spider Webs & Ghosts
This look is perfect for the indecisive girl—you don’t have to choose just one color! I love coffin tips in different shades like purple, orange, black, and nude, all tied together with tiny webs and ghost art. It’s super customizable too. I think you should go all out and add glitter or glow-in-the-dark polish for extra fun.
Nude Nails with Red Blood Drip
There’s something so spooky and elegant about a nude nail with red blood drip accents. I love this for a vampire-inspired look. You should keep the base sheer for a natural effect, and make the red glossy so it looks fresh and dramatic. This look screams Halloween glam!
Purple & Silver Nails with Black Bat
Purple and silver give me serious magical vibes, and adding a little black bat design takes it right into Halloween territory. I’d go with shimmer polish to make the silver sparkle. You can do this look on long nails or short ones—either way it’s a cute witchy moment you’ll love.
Final Thoughts, Babe…
There are so many fun ways to rock Halloween nails, whether you’re going spooky, sweet, glam, or totally wild. I think the best part is just getting creative and showing off your personality with your nail art. Don’t be afraid to mix colors, add some glitter, or try a new shape. You can do a full set at the salon or even press-ons at home—whatever works best for you. Have fun with it and tag me if you try any of these looks. Happy haunting, boo!
