With Halloween around the corner, it’s time to decide what nail designs and costumes to go for this year. With so many options to chose from, it can get overwhelming and slowly become an impossible decision to make.

To make it easier for you, in the post, I have put together 21 Halloween nail designs, you’ll want to recreate this year. There is something to suit everyone, whether you want to go all out or want a cute manicure with a hint of Halloween; I’ve got you covered.

1. Flower Ghost

This nail design is perfect for Halloween, especially if you’re looking for a simpler design. The classic nude nail is classy and chic, and then adding the small nail art to the manicure gives it a cute, on-themed design. The floral detailing is a great way of making the design more girly and adding personality to the set. This is ideal if you want to create an autumnal Halloween set.

2. Orange Pumpkin

This is a classic Halloween theme; the orange, the pumpkins, and the ghosts are what we all think of when it comes to Halloween. Even though this manicure is very much on theme, it still has a cute and playful look to it. The black and white details pop against the orange and make it stand out even more. If you are a big Halloween fan, this is definitely a design you need to try out.

3. Black Widow

Halloween is the perfect time of year to go all out on nail art. The different designs in this set create the ultimate Halloween manicure; the flame, spider web, and ghosts are all great to incorporate into your design. Black and nude work well together, the blacks very striking against the nude base, so it’ll definitely catch other’s attention. The added white detailing is a nice touch to brighten up the design and give it that striking feature.

4. Blood Heart

This is a traditional Halloween design of the dripping red blood, but this one has a slight twist. The red against the nude nail stands out really well and draws all the attention to the detail. The blood drips into heart designs, so not only is it a dripping blood design, it has heart details that blend into the design. This is great if you want a Halloween themed manicure but still want it to have a cute, girly aspect to it.

5. Scary Mummy

If you like nail art but prefer monochrome designs, this is the ideal set for you. The black and white works well with this design; the different designs stand out individually but also complement each other well, which is important. The mummy design and the pumpkin designs are really popular for Halloween nail sets, so mixing them with other details is a good way to make them more unique. This set is a nice balance of dramatic and classy, so if that’s what you like then you should try this design for Halloween this year.

6. Spooky Season

Purple is a lovely colour for nail designs and it’s a good way to make a Halloween set more unique. The pumpkin and ghost designs paired with the star nail art create a mysterious night mood. The touches of glitter add to the night theme and give the set a nice shimmer. The black line detailing against the purple is bold and very distinctive; it also adds to the design and fits the Halloween style. This design looks good with the coffin shaped nail, it adds to the design and the Halloween theme too.

7. Spider’s Web

At first glance of this nail design, it looks like a cool Aztec design, and then when you realise it’s a spider’s web, it really has the wow factor. It’s such a simple design, yet it is super effective and perfect for Halloween. The black contrast against the nude is bold and eye-catching, but on the other hand, it’s super chic and subtle. This is great if you want to get involved in the spooky season and don’t want to have an in your face design.

8. Green Zombie

This design is super cool and bold, it may not be the most Halloween-esque design, but it is still perfect for this time of year. The green and black marble effect have a spooky, zombie feel, which is very fitting for Halloween. I love this design because it is on theme for Halloween, but you can still wear it once Halloween is over and it still looks good. The marble effect is a popular nail design, so this will definitely keep you on-trend this Halloween.

9. Bat Frenchies

Tip designs are a classic no matter the time of year so why not incorporate them into your Halloween nails. This bat tip design is unique and simple yet so detailed. The pink tip adds some colour to the set and brightens it up; while the black bat design is bold and really creative. The almond shape works well with this design, it adds to the effect of the bat design and makes it look more dramatic.

10. A Ghost’s Glitter

Glitter chrome designs have been really popular this year, so incorporating them into your Halloween nails gives the set a trendy look. The silver glitter is a lovely way to give it a statement look while keeping it neutral. The ghost nail art is such a detailed look, it stands out and will catch a lot of attention. This set would be perfect for any Halloween parties you have planned this year.

11. Spooky Snakes

This design is a great statement look for Halloween. Purple and green are classic colours for Halloween; the contrast between the ombre and metallic designs creates a great themed design while still keeping it trendy. The snake nail art is a nice touch and makes the whole design more unique. The stiletto shape of the nails is also great for Halloween as it gives it a witch type look to the design, adding to the Halloween theme. These nails would be really good if you’re going to a Halloween party this year, as they are a real statement manicure.

12. Halloween Wreath

The mix of flower nail art, skulls, and pumpkins is the perfect design if you want something fun and lighthearted that still has elements of the spooky season. The nude base is also a nice touch to keep the focus on the nail art and to make it stand out even more. I think this design is great if you’re not doing much for Halloween but still want to enjoy the holiday and take part in some sort of way. Even though it’s a very detailed design, the nude base tones down the design slightly so you can get away with having them for a little longer than just Halloween.

13. Bat’s Sky 

This is a fun nail art design to have for Halloween this year. The purple ombre design paired with the bats is a classic mix of Halloween-themed features, and together they create a cool manicure. The added touches of the sparkling stars and moons tie the whole design together. These nail would look good against a black outfit or costume, drawing the attention to your nails and making them the focus of your look. I think the shape of these nails are also great for Halloween, especially if you’re looking for a unique set, the shape of your nails really add to the effect.

14. Blood Stains

Red is a great statement colour for Halloween, and this is a great design to try this year. The deep red has a very mature look to it and against the nude base, it is chic but still very bold. The dripping blood effect is a gory look, but it’s subtle and still quite classy. I like this design because even though it’s really on theme for Halloween, it’s still very simple, and at first glance, there isn’t too much going on. It’s definitely a great design to get if you want to have the design on for longer, not just for the night of Halloween.

15. Halloween Night

This design is a fun, playful design to try out this year. Black is a great colour for these designs; it has a mysterious, spooky feel while still looking chic. The monochromatic detail keeps it quite subtle while still having enough detail to enjoy. The different nail art design on each nail is fun idea as you can change it to what you like; it s a good way to add your personality to your set.

16. Trick or Treat

This is perfect if you can’t decide what design to get; a little bit of everything to create a cool statement manicure. The different nail arts are a great mix of everything Halloween is about; it’s ideal if you’re looking to create the ultimate Halloween set. Pink isn’t the typical colour when it comes to Halloween designs, but this is the perfect way to make it cute and girly. The black and white details really stand out against the pink and make the design even more eye-catching.

17. Flower Power

If you’re looking for a Halloween nail design that’s still a bit girly and not too spooky, you need to try this design. The Halloween theme paired with a colourful floral pattern is such a cute and fun design. The colours really pop against the nude base, and with the nail art being small and intricate it doesn’t look overpowered and is still quite chic. I love this design, it is definitely one for the girlies.

18. Dripping Slime

This design is really cool; it has many popular nail trends and creates a fitting Halloween design. Tip designs are great, but the dripping effect elevate the whole look. The black and green is a great colour combination for this manicure, and the green chrome fits so well with the design. Not only does it add to the theme, but it adds a stylish, trendy look to the nails. The almond shape works really well with this design, too; it creates the illusion of longer fingers, giving more room for the dripping effect.

19. Night Scene

Creating a themed nail design is fun until you need to go to work, and it’s not suitable for office attire, but this design is perfect for both. The nude almond nails are clean, classy, and great for everyday wear; the sheer look is elegant and great if you want a minimal design. The mini Halloween scene nail art is a fun yet subtle way of adding a bit of the holiday twist to the design. It’s perfect for leading up to Halloween whilst still being appropriate for day-to-day life.

This design is definitely a fave; the bright colours and the nail art are the perfect design to try out this year. The different design on each nail makes it stand out and unique. The bright colours used are striking, and the black detailing creates a contrast that makes it even more eye-catching. The nude base is a good way to keep the design clean and not overpowering. You need to try this design if you want a statement set.
