36 Halloween Nail Art Ideas That Are Equal Parts Eerie and Cute

Bet you never thought you could love pumpkins on a set of nails so much. To try this design at home, start with a neutral-toned base and then choose five other autumnal hues that will form your pumpkin, like the gorgeous shades in Olive & June’s Fall Set.

Begin creating a rounded tip (where your classic French tip would go) with those shades, making sure to create a small indent to form that pumpkin shape. Then, using a detailing brush, go in with a black polish and outline those pumpkins, adding personality with stalks.

Matte black bats

Playing around with matte and shiny topcoats on a black nail polish shade is a supercool way to spook-ify a traditional Halloween symbol. Take this set by Minnesota-based nail artist Sydney, who painted high-shine spooky bat designs atop a matte black base.
