Spooky season is just around the corner, meaning it’s finally time to start planning our Halloween nails, costumes, and makeup. But don’t forget to get some Halloween nail art to show up your costumes.

It’s never too early to start thinking about Halloween. If you love spooky season, there are so many ways to nod to the celebration, but Halloween nails are one of our favourite places to start.

It’s true that Halloween manis may have previously picked up a slightly sketchy rep, thanks to the novelty designs. And, if you don’t think it’s possible for Halloween nails to be chic – allow us to prove you wrong.

Whether you like to go all out during Halloween or prefer to keep it low-key, there’s something for everyone. More of a minimalist? Glossy black nails are a classic, or you could even switch in a moody matte top coat to live out your inner grunge-girl. You can give classic Frenchies a vampy makeover by switching out the white tip for blood red or midnight black. And, we’ve even seen the white swoosh transformed into a dinky ghost.

Whether you’re more of a DIY, nail art, or press-on person, there’s at least one (or a few) Halloween nail ideas for you. Scroll on for the best Halloween manicure ideas for 2024 and get ready to screenshot.
