Dying to do a jack-o-lantern manicure? Traditional orange and black can be tricky too early in the season. This purple and black manicure is spine-chillingly original. Less contrast in the nail polishes means it's more wearable now.

Black on black is deeply chic, especially when mixing matte and shiny nail polishes. The understated monochromatic color scheme makes the spiderweb detail work, even when you're not getting your spook on.

This graphic nail art has classic Halloween colors but without blood, guts and gore. Use a stamping kit for precise lines. Freehanding it could lend a cool off-kilter finish, so don't worry if the lines aren't perfectly straight.

Honestly, we'd rock ouija nail art year round, but it's particularly apropos for October.

Bet you weren't expecting pastels. That's what makes the Halloween manicure unexpected and appropriate for a greater period of time. The teeny-tiny bats bring enough creepy vibes but the graphic design reads as a V-shape from far away, making the look more versatile.
