30 Cute Halloween Nails You’ll Want to Copy!

Today, I’m sharing my 30 favorite cute Halloween nail ideas. Creating fun and festive nails has become one of my favorite parts of the spooky season. Over the years, I’ve done candy corn tips, spider web accents, little ghost designs, and pumpkin-themed French manicures. There is A LOT to pick from on this list. I pulled the cutest, most popular designs I’ve saved and seen over the past few Halloweens!

Halloween nail season, especially from late September through October, is when I get the most excited to experiment. By then, the cozy fall colors come out—think burnt orange, deep purple, jet black, and even glittery green. Nail salons start getting more creative, and it’s the perfect time to try something fun and unexpected.

My favorite thing to do is scroll through ideas, save the ones that feel bold but still wearable, and then bring them to my next nail appointment. It’s a fun way to celebrate the season without needing a full costume. And honestly, it always starts conversations—people LOVE Halloween nails!

Of course, I gravitate toward designs that are a mix of cute and spooky. I love tiny bats, smiley jack-o’-lanterns, spiderweb tips, and little skull accents. Then I’ll add a matte topcoat or some sparkles to really make it pop. Because I’m always so obsessed with Halloween nail designs, I figured I’d pull together all my top faves. Below, I’ve shared 30 cute ideas I think you’ll love too.
