1. Ghost French Tips
For a French manicure with a Halloween twist, simply paint over the usual white tips of small ghosts for your nails.

Finally, add small black dots for the eyes and mouth to finish it off.
2. Black Widow Spiderwebs
For a simple but creepy look, try a black widow spiderweb.
First, paint your nails with black or dark grey polish.
If the polish dries, use a thin brush or nail art pen to draw spiderwebs.
Add a small red dot in the middle to look like the spider’s mark.
3. Orange Aura
Get a spooky and fun Halloween look with orange aura nails.
Start by painting your nails with bright orange.
Then use a sponge to add a lighter orange or yellow around the edges to make it look like they’re glowing.
Finish with a top coat to blend the colours smoothly.
4. Vampy Matte Black
Blend matte black polish with a drippy French tip technique for an edgy and sultry look.
Finish your nails with a matte black colour and once the paint dries, apply a shiny layer of the colour that has been dripped from the tips of the nails, creating the look of blood.
5. Pumpkin Chic
Get this chic pumpkin French design, the perfect way to decorate for the holidays without being too extravagant.
Start with the pumpkin orange nail polish followed by simple pumpkin designs with thin lines made with a thin paintbrush at the tips of your nails.
For pumpkin stems and faces, add a little green or black colour.
6. Ghoulish Greens
An all-green theme to welcome the Halloween season can be effective.
Different shades of green polish, including olive, mint or emerald can be used in gradient or mix-and-match designs.
7. Spider Woman
Take the spiderweb further up a notch by incorporating a spiderwoman theme.
The first colour is best to go for the darkest colour as a base colour, which can be purple or black.
Paint thin spiderweb designs and also, stoke a little spider in the middle of one or two nails to depict the creepy design.
8. Magic 8 Ball
Get a spooky look with Magic 8 Ball Nails.
First, paint your nails with a dark colour like black or navy blue.
Then use white polish to draw a Magic 8 Ball and add a friendly yes/no message.
9. Patch It Up
This design looks like it was inspired by a Nightmare Before Halloween and the cute patchwork patterns are added to it.
Your base colour should be dark and then paint your nails in different random but vibrant colours.
Draw around all the patches with a fine black ink line to recreate the look of the stitches.
10. Pumpkin Spice
For a special occasion like Halloween, visualize your fingernails with pumpkin spices.
Use an orange-tinted polish for the actual nail colour and add accents of spices with a metallic or glitter finish.
One can also include small pumpkin or spice designs on the surfaces for that unique look.
11. 3D Chrome
Go glamorous goth with a 3D chrome feel.
For better results begin with a darker shade of base color which may be black or deep purple in this case.
A chrome topcoat or powder applied to the final product can give a mirror-like appearance.
To add extra depth, incorporate tiny metallic trinkets or pieces of Jewelry on your nails.
12. Madame Web
We got the idea from the Madame Web character; it has pink spiderwebs.
Complete your manicure leaving your nails with a gentle pink color, then paint thin lines resembling spiderwebs using a thin brush.
So, let’s enhance the design a little bit and put some glitter on it.
13. Heavy Metal
For something a bit more grunge, try a deep charcoal or a gunmetal grey shade on your nails.
This is a metallic colour which makes the nails look very dark and gothic, fitting for Halloween not too over the top.
14. Splatter Tips
Live out your horror fantasy with splatter tips.
For example, apply a clean and pristine white or off-white base colour and using a very thin brush.
Brush tone-on-tone of dark red or black nail polish with a splatter effect imitating blood stains.
This design is ideal for horror movies, particularly for slasher movies.
15. Batwoman
Bats are even better than using spiderwebs in most cases.
Paint the dark base colour and make the bat shapes with the thin brush or use bat-shaped stickers.
You can also spackle on some glitter for the bats to give them that supernatural shimmering metallic-like finish.
16. Ombré Red
Here you can get a combination of a glamorous yet scary look through the ombré red nails.
This method begins with a deep red base colour and incorporates lighter shades of red or pink towards the ends of the hair.
This gradient effect seems like blood or a fiery sunset which is perfect during the Halloween season.
17. Spooky Mix & Match
Have problems deciding between one design and another? Each nail can be decorated in a different Halloween theme.
Overlay spiderwebs, ghosts and pumpkins for an eclectic look that will perfectly embody the Halloween spirit.
18. Lilac Jack-o’-Lantern
As far as the pumpkin design is concerned, you could create lilac jack-o’-lantern nails if you want the design to be unique from the conventional one.
Paint nails a light lilac and add the faces in the style of a carved pumpkin with shades of orange and black nail polish.
This design provides a far less ostentatious approach to the celebration of Halloween.
19. Matte Black with Glossy Tips
For that little extra gothic something, just combine the matte black nails with glossy black tips a la French manicure.
The base is matte to give a gothic feel while still having a high-gloss finish to add a modern twist at the tips.
20. Freaky French
Paint your nails as you would for a classic French manicure.
At the tips of your nails, add ghost images or spider webs to give a spooky touch.

Then use black or metallic polish to add snake or serpent designs.
