No need to lose your head -- these cute skull nails are easy to recreate and will be the envy of all fingertips come Halloween. Start with a white base coat, such as Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer in All White Now, and then paint a curved vertical line on both sides to make the shape of a skull with black polish (try China Glaze Nail Lacquer in Liquid Leather). Add a horizontal line and small vertical lines for the mouth, daintily paint two large dots for eye sockets and finish off the look with an upside down heart for the nose. Finally, seal your skull with a topcoat.
You can capture the essence of an evil witch -- sans the broomstick and warts. True, this tiny face profile might take a bit of patience, but luckily it's only on one accent finger.
3D nails look a little advanced? These ghost nails are perfect for you nail art beginners out there -- if your dots are sloppy, no one will notice. We suggest opting for glow-in-the-dark base paint to make the mani extra ghoulish.
You may be too old to trick-or-treat but that doesn't mean you can't score a handful of sweets. Halloween's most famous dessert can be recreated by painting on just three horizontal stripes.
Dressing up as a cat, a werewolf, or even Kylie Jenner? Here's a great way to fake pointy talons -- without actually cutting your nails. Just be sure to select a nude shade that's close to your skin tone for the most realistic effect.
There's no better time than Halloween to embrace the nail art trend. Unlike most holidays where you have to play it safe (you're not going to show up to Easter Mass with a 3D bunny on your thumb), Halloween is made for going all out. After all, the entire purpose of the holiday is to completely transform yourself -- right down to the spookiest Halloween nail designs.
Counting down the days until we get to play dress up, we've thought about every detail of our costume, and scoured Pinterest for killer Halloween nail designs (see what I did there?) we can wear all month. We even rounded up the best Halloween nail art we've seen this year. The best part? They're all easy nail designs you can pull off on your own. While manicure money is always well spent, we know you're saving your moola for that half-priced candy the day after Halloween.
