One of our favorite parts of the fall: Halloween. With spooky season approaching, deciding on everything from our Halloween nails and makeup to costumes and movies is a highlight of the season.
If you want to get into the spirit but aren’t totally into the idea of going all out on dressing up in a costume, Halloween nails are the perfect way to bridge the gap so you can still celebrate the holiday. Between Halloween press-on nails, nail stickers, and countless Halloween-themed nail art designs, there are plenty of ideas to choose from, whether you want to DIY your look or head to an appointment with your nail tech.
What can we expect from Halloween nail art ideas? According to Brittney Boyce, a celebrity nail artist known for her goth glam manis and founder of Nails of LA, you can expect darker nail colors this season. “Dark mattes will be popular,” she says. “Think dark green, black, and even a blood red.”
If you’re unsure about leaning into full-blown Halloween nail art look, Boyce suggests a chrome or matte finish to give a simple mani some extra edge. “I also love adding 3D metal jewelry at times,” she says. And if you do want to try some of the Halloween nail art ideas but don’t want to take a trip to the nail salon, you don’t have to: “For a DIY approach, I suggest using nail art decals. They’re pretty easy to use and look amazing,” she adds.
No matter how you’re dressing up this October, we have plenty of Halloween manicure ideas that you’ll love so much, you’ll want to wear them year-round. Scroll on for our best Halloween nail ideas that are perfect for fall.
