Halloween is the perfect excuse to get wildly creative with your nails.
Whether you’re into classic spooky themes or love a more glam-goth twist, we’ve curated an edit of cute nail designs that are little haunted masterpieces ready to steal the show!
Spooky Chic with a Dash of Playfulness
First up, we have a look that’s all about variety and personality. This almond-shaped mani features five totally different Halloween vibes in one hand.
From Frankenstein-inspired stitching in a soft lime green, to a dripping blood effect on a bright white base, and even a tiny ghost that looks like it’s mid “boo!”—this is the ultimate mix-and-match spooky set.
My personal fave? The little pumpkin. These nails are perfect if you can’t choose just one Halloween theme—because you shouldn’t have to!
Neon Nightmare with a Side of Sass
Bold, bright, and a little bit twisted—this set is a neon dream turned nightmare in the best way. The coffin shape gives the perfect base for a graphic combo of hot pink, black, and white swirls.
But the real showstopper? The stitched smiley face with X eyes—it’s giving haunted doll vibes in the fiercest way.
And let’s not ignore the melting drip tips that look like neon blood drops. These are the nails for the baddie who wants her spooky to come with attitude.
Mystical Moonlight Magic
Elegant with a hint of witchy charm, these sleek black-tipped nails are anything but basic. A mix of crescent moons, sparkles, stars, and even a subtle spider web design on one finger keeps it mysterious yet refined.
The sharp almond shape adds to the magical feel. These would pair perfectly with a black velvet cloak or your favorite dark lipstick. A must for the subtle sorceress.
Ghosts, Stars, and Soft Frights
This soft nude-toned set adds a cute and minimalist spin on Halloween. You’ve got a tiny ghost, a few floating stars, and some playful black-and-white accents that scream (in the gentlest way possible) “spooky season.”
It’s delicate, feminine, and surprisingly versatile—like Halloween, but make it dreamy.
Bloody Brilliant
Red drips cascade from the tips like a fresh horror flick—this design is clean, fierce, and a little sinister. What makes it pop is the subtle sparkle in the black French tips underneath the “blood.”
It’s Halloween glam for those who want to make a bold statement with just the right amount of gore. Elegant but deadly? Yes, please.
Matte Black Murder Scene
Okay, this one’s not for the faint of heart. Matte black stiletto nails serve as the backdrop for hyper-realistic blood drips in glossy crimson.
The contrast between matte and shine gives this mani insane depth. It’s dark, dramatic, and straight out of a thriller. If you’re channeling vampire queen energy, these are it.
Abstract Blood Splatter Art
Blood splatter, but make it avant-garde. This short, round set is giving art school horror movie. Layers of white, pink, and deep wine red are swirled and splattered across the nail like chaotic brushstrokes.
The vibe is messy, edgy, and seriously cool. Think: Carrie meets abstract expressionism.
Gothic Lace Dreams
A look that’s hauntingly beautiful. These semi-transparent nails are topped with intricate black lace-like patterns that resemble gothic cathedral windows and antique wallpaper.
The shine, the detail, the elegance, it’s Victorian ghost girl meets haute couture. If you want your nails to whisper “glamour” instead of scream “gore,” this one’s your perfect match.
Boo-tiful 3D Ghosts
Okay, these nails are next-level adorable. Each one features a little ghost that looks like it’s floating right off the tip, literally!
The 3D effect gives the ghosts a glossy, jelly-like texture that catches the light just right.
With a sheer pink base and almond shape, this mani feels playful but ultra polished. It’s like Casper got a glow-up, and we’re here for it.
Chic Mummies & Iridescent Glow
This one is Halloween elegance wrapped in (mummy) bandages.
The two character nails show sweet little mummy faces peeking out from soft pink and white wrappings, while the rest of the set is coated in a pearly chrome that’s so on-trend.
This look blends spooky charm with a soft, otherworldly shimmer, perfect for a more minimalist Halloween vibe with just the right amount of fun.
Scream Queen Energy
Horror fans, this one’s calling your name. These bold square nails are giving comic book meets slasher film with their black-outlined tips, blood drips, and the unmistakable Ghostface from Scream.
The 3D blood on the middle finger is especially striking, making this look theatrical and dramatic in the best way. It’s edgy, cool, and just a touch terrifying.
Frankenstein French
This is your classic French tip, if it were raised from the dead! Green glittery tips are stitched together with black lines in a fun Frankenstein-inspired design.
It’s spooky but totally wearable, especially for those who like Halloween vibes without going full horror mode. Cute, simple, and screams “creepy chic.”
Purple Skies & Spooky Nights
These nails are a love letter to Halloween night. Deep purple tips serve as a spooky twilight sky, complete with bats, pumpkins, spider webs, and twinkling stars.
The almond shape and negative space base keep the whole look light and whimsical. This mani is perfect for anyone who still loves the magic of Halloween night as much as the scares.
Cute & Creepy Kawaii Edition
This square-shaped mani is a Halloween pastel dream. A soft pink base hosts mini white ghosts, pumpkins, webs, and little sparkles, all detailed in the sweetest, cartoonish way.
It’s the definition of cute Halloween with a pop of orange for festive contrast. If spooky but sweet is your vibe, this one is your match made in haunted heaven.
Glossy Ghost Charm
These short, rounded nails are sweet, glossy, and ghosty in the best way. Each nail features a tiny white ghost floating across a pink pearl base.
They almost look like they’re dancing! This look is low-key, super wearable, and gives major cozy sweater and PSL energy—perfect for the soft-girl Halloween aesthetic.
Celestial & Bewitched
Saving one of the chicest for last, these black-and-white French tips come with a celestial twist. Think moons, stars, sparkles, and an all-around mysterious glam vibe.
With a coffin shape and clean lines, this set is subtly witchy and undeniably stylish, ideal if you want your Halloween nails to feel just a little more high fashion.
Jack-O’-CUTE Lanterns
Nothing screams Halloween more than pumpkins, but this mani gives them a full personality makeover!
Each almond-shaped nail is a bright, glossy orange with adorable little jack-o’-lantern faces—some sweet, some spooky, and all totally charming.
The vertical line detailing adds that classic pumpkin texture. This set is fun, festive, and perfect for pumpkin patch selfies or cozying up with a caramel apple.
Lavender Haunt & Glitter Glam
For a Halloween look with a twist of magical sparkle, this one’s a total win. A dreamy lavender base is the perfect canvas for deep purple glitter designs: spiders, webs, bats, pumpkins, and floating ghosts.
Each nail brings a unique element, but they’re all tied together by the dazzling shimmer. It’s giving enchanted forest meets Halloween bash, equal parts glam and ghostly.
Minimalist Webs & Wicked Tips
Sleek, sharp, and striking, this black French tip design is all about moody minimalism. Two nails feature delicately painted white spider webs on a nude base, adding just the right amount of spooky detail.
If you’re not into bold characters or neon colors but still want a Halloween edge, this is your go-to. It’s witchy sophistication at its finest.
Candy Corn & Cuties
This mani captures the essence of Halloween candy and costume fun in the most delightful way. The design is packed with tiny motifs like candy corn, bats, ghosts, stars, and spiders, all floating on a soft nude base.
The use of warm oranges and soft black details feels festive without being overwhelming. It’s playful, lighthearted, and made for those who still get giddy seeing Halloween decorations go up.
Crimson Drip Drama
This one brings a little edge! The classic nude base paired with deep red French tips gets a bloody twist—literally.
A few nails feature dripping red details that give off chic vampire vibes. It’s simple but makes a bold statement, especially if you’re into that sleek, glam-goth aesthetic. Think vampire lips and glass of red wine levels of drama.
Pink Haunt with a Heart
Who says spooky can’t be sweet? This soft pink set serves major Halloween charm without going full-on gothic.
Think floating ghosts, moody black flames, delicate crescent moons, and fluttering bats—all dancing across a glossy pastel base.
And the little black cat? It’s the kind of detail that makes you do a double take—in the best way. Whimsical, a little witchy, and totally wearable. This look is hauntingly cute, with just enough edge to keep it interesting.
Cozy Spooky Combo
This nail set blends the best of fall and fright—think adorable mummies, spiderwebs, ghosts, and bats—all wrapped up in a soft, cozy aesthetic.
The details are crisp but never overdone, making it perfect if you want a Halloween look that’s festive and effortlessly wearable. Chic, comfy, and just spooky enough.
