Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s time to give your nails a spooky makeover. Halloween manicures tend to be a little bit extra and over the top, but our favorite nail artists are putting a subtle twist on them this Halloween season.

Mostly Ghostly

Ghosts are one of the most common motifs associated with Halloween, but who said they have to be scary? If you enjoy classic and simple manicures, ghost-inspired nail art will be your cup of tea because your manicure will have a spooky feel without looking too colorful.

Spidey Vibes

Spiders are another motif that can give your nails a spooky, yet polished vibe. There are many ways to embrace this nail art trend, but your nails will look best if you simply keep them black and white.

Keep it Short

Short nails always look more subtle than long ones, and this rule applies to your Halloween manicure—especially if you embrace lighter colors that aren’t too on the nose.

Go Matte or Go Home

There’s something about matte nails that simply screams simplicity, and they have the power to tone down even the most eye-catching Halloween looks. If you’re not a huge fan of glossy nail art anyway, consider giving matte nails a shot this spooky season.
