Orange is the color of Halloween, and pumpkin nail art never goes out of style. You can paint tiny jack-o’-lantern faces or keep it simple with bright orange polish and black tips.

👻 2. Ghost-Inspired Nails

Cute or creepy, ghost nails are always a hit. Try white ghost silhouettes on a black base, or go for a soft pastel look with friendly ghost designs.

🕷️ 3. Spider & Web Nails

For a spooky vibe, paint black spiderwebs across a silver or nude background. Add tiny rhinestones as “spiders” for extra glam.

🦇 4. Bat-Themed Nails

Tiny flying bats against a dark purple or midnight blue polish create a mysterious, gothic look—perfect for Halloween night.

🧛 5. Blood Drip Nails

If you love horror-inspired designs, go for red “blood drips” over black or nude nails. This dramatic style looks especially striking with glossy polish.

💀 6. Skeleton & Skull Nails

Skull designs can range from scary to cute. Try white skeleton outlines on black nails or colorful sugar skull designs inspired by Day of the Dead.

🧙 7. Witchy Vibes

Think black cats, cauldrons, broomsticks, or even witch hat patterns. Combine deep green, black, and purple shades for a magical effect.

🩸 8. Glow-in-the-Dark Nails

Want to stand out at night? Glow-in-the-dark nail polish makes your spooky designs come alive when the lights go out!

If you prefer a playful look, try candy corn stripes, smiley pumpkins, or pastel ghosts. These fun styles are perfect for kids or family-friendly events.

🕯️ 10. Elegant Gothic Nails

Not into cartoonish designs? Go classy with matte black, burgundy, or metallic shades. Add minimal spiderwebs or gold accents for a chic gothic look.
