10 Halloween Nail Ideas That Are Anything but Basic

As we transition from summer's warmth to autumn's coolness, we all eagerly anticipate Halloween's arrival. The spooky season presents the perfect opportunity for many to embrace their inner child and bring out their best creativity. If you're anything like this beauty editor, you're choosing to embrace your love for the szn not through costumes but through beauty. For this occasion, we're focusing our attention on the nails.

Your nails can really make or break your Halloween look. You don't have to be dressed up entirely, but in general, the power and impact a manicure holds can elevate or deflate your entire look. But for those who are balling on a budget (this economy is t-rash, so we understand.) The best part about it all is that any type of manicure you want for any holiday can be easily done at home or you can indulge in the expertise of a professional nail technician.

In 2023, we know that Halloween nails extend beyond the traditional black matte finishes and ghostly designs. Fortunately, the nail trends for Fall 2023 include shades and hues that work for Halloween and more. To help spark your creativity this Halloween, we've curated ten manicure ideas that you can share with your nail technician or try out on your own.
