Traditional Halloween festivities don’t need to be a one-night occurrence when you include nails as part of your ensemble. Thanks to the plethora of nail-art ideas on Instagram, you can add a touch of spookiness to your look for the entire month leading up to the holiday with fun Halloween nail designs.
Although we all love over-the-top nails for Halloween, getting your nails done professionally can be time consuming and expensive. If your budget or schedule doesn’t allow for it, don’t worry. Luckily, there are plenty of easy designs you can DIY that don’t require any expertise or stacks of acrylic powder. You don’t have to be a nail artist to get in on the action. Plus, DIY Halloween nail-art designs encourage messy, gory, and outside-of-the-cuticle action, so you don’t have to be clean cut with details. In fact, the messier, the better. All you’ll need are some nail inspiration, a polish color or two, and a few cheap tools.
We’ve gathered a list of ideas to help you find the perfect pairing to your Halloween costume and show off your manicurist skills. Grab your nail polish, put on “Hocus Pocus,” and get ready to create some easy Halloween nails.
