Halloween nails are a perfect way to add a spooky touch to your style, whether you’re going all out with a costume or just adding a hint of festivity. Here are five chic Halloween nail designs that capture the eerie, glamorous side of the season. Plus, I’ve included some product recommendations to help you get the look!
1. Chic Black Cat
Channel a black cat’s mysterious allure with a sleek black base, like OPI’s "Black Onyx". To add some flair, paint minimalist cat ears or whiskers on an accent nail using Essie’s "Licorice".
For a fun twist, add a golden dot for an “eye” using Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel in "Game of Chromes". This design is simple but gives a subtle, bewitching vibe to your Halloween nails.
2. Glam Skeleton Accents
For a more intricate but chic look, go for skeleton accents on a classic black or nude base, such as Zoya’s "Willa".
Use a white nail art pen or OPI Nail Art Pen in White to sketch delicate bone designs or skulls on one or two nails. The effect is effortlessly spooky and adds an edgy vibe to your manicure.
3. Moonlit Magic
Perfect for those who love a celestial theme, this design captures the mystery of a haunted night. Start with a deep navy blue, like Zoya’s "Ryan", and add a glitter topcoat, such as China Glaze’s "Fairy Dust", to create a starry effect.
Use a silver nail art pen to draw tiny crescent moons on an accent nail for an extra touch of witchy elegance. This look is mesmerizing and chic enough to wear beyond Halloween.
4. Matte Midnight Tips
A twist on classic French tips, this design uses a matte black base with glossy tips for a sleek look. Apply OPI’s "Black Onyx" for the base and finish with a matte top coat, like Essie Matte About You.
Use a glossy top coat to paint on the tips, creating a sophisticated tone-on-tone effect. This monochromatic design is subtle but sophisticated, giving your nails a hauntingly chic finish.
5. Spider Sparkle
For a bit of sparkle with a touch of creepy, start with a metallic or glittery purple, like ILNP’s "Hush". Add a tiny spider design with black polish, like Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Black to Black, on an accent nail.
Draw thin lines for legs and, if you want a bit more glam, add a rhinestone for the spider body. This design combines spooky and sparkle in a truly stylish way!
Top off any design with a long-lasting top coat, like Essie’s Gel Couture Top Coat, to make sure your haunted look lasts through Halloween festivities. These nail designs will have you looking spooky, stylish, and ready for all things Halloween!
