Now with October well underway, it’s time to plan and coordinate the Halloween look for this season — including a cute or spooky nail design to go along with it. When it comes to Halloween, creativity is unleashed and endless, as there are so many ways to express yourself through looks and nail designs. Curating the perfect nail art is always a task but it really does make or break the Halloween costume you end up putting together. Whether you’re going for a cute yet fall-style nail look or opting for a spooky, horror kind of look, there is something for everyone’s kind of vibe. Nail designs can be done either in the comfort of your home or by the hands of your most *trusted* nail technician. To have everyone obsessing over your nails, we’ve curated 10 nail design ideas perfect for the upcoming Halloween festivities.

For a more cute, girly kind of vibe, these nails are just what you need. A glittery pink shade can be used with a black nail polish to compliment it. To keep up with the Halloween aesthetic, add a fun design with ghosts, bats, and spiders on the ring finger.
Bloody Fantastic

For any horror fans out there, this bloody gory nail look will leave everyone *shook.* That dripping blood effect makes the design look actually real and to spice up the nails, keep it in a long, stiletto style.

Spiders are small insects that definitely give one the *chills.* Using this as inspiration, recreate this *chilling* look by using black nail polish and adding a spider web design all over your nails.

For another classic look that’s bat-tastic, use clear nail polish as the base and add these creatures over it at the top of your nails.

Good old Frankenstein, you could never go wrong with him. Use a vibrant green and add his face, hair, or stitches on different nails. Then, end off with a black nail polish outline for a more bolder effect.
Do you like scary movies?

Ghostface may just become your bestie with this nail design. To honor the Scream movie franchise antagonist, outline Ghostface on both ring fingers. Since the film is filled with gore, add a blood-dripping design to the rest of your nails.
This is Halloween

Nothing *screams* Halloween more than Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas movie. As an homage to the Pumpkin King, use Jack Skellington’s face and outfit as nail design inspo.
Spooky Scary Skeleton

Instead of going for the typical skull design, make this a unique Halloween design by using skeletal bones on your nails.
Glow In The Dark

To round off our list, this last one is the most unique of them all. No matter how dark it gets outside, using glow-in-the-dark nail polish will still have your nail design showing off. Use ghosts, bats, spiderwebs, or other Halloween designs to level up the look while using this effect.
