You can never go wrong with red polish, a no-brainer when it comes to gorgeous manicures for Halloween. Classy and chic that can instantly upgrade any outfit, it’s not surprising to see that the red colour is making a major comeback this Halloween.

“This simple nail look is perfect for costume parties and will look great all on nail shapes and lengths,” said Glass. “From trendsetters to beauty lovers, everyone’s likely favouring a deeper, moodier take on the class red hue this season. The red palette is on- theme and you can definitely rock it all fall and winter.”

Why wear one design when you can wear them all? According to Kerry Tsang, founder of Urban Chillez Nail Bar, mismatched nail art isn’t going anywhere this fall and Halloween.

“Mix all of the spooky season’s biggest nail trends—pumpkins, stitches and ghosts—for a truly one-of-a-kind look. The trick here is to opt for a transparent base coat, letting the patterns do the talking.” 

A good reminder that not every stylish Halloween nail look has to be filled with ghosts and reds, this French manicure with black polish is perfect for those who want something clean and wearable after all those festivities.

“French manicures are always a hit and will never go out of style,” said Christy Chan, founder of Ooh La La Nails. “This design doesn’t have to be always the classic clear and white colour combination, and one of the many ways to have fun with the design for the spooky season, is opting for a black polish.” 

Pro tip: ask for a stiletto shape if you want to make your nails look more witchy.  

What's Halloween without pumpkins and ghosts? Featuring a unique blend of festive aesthetics, this design by Ooh La La Nails gives everything you could possibly ask for a striking look that’s guaranteed to turn heads.

“Regardless of what character you decide to dress up as this spooky season, these mismatched nails will be on theme and can let your personality shine,” said Chan. Get creative with your design, choosing everything from Jack-o'-lantern to interesting stripes and dramatic colours such as glitter and black for a truly standout appearance.  
 

Can’t commit to a full-on Halloween nail art? These glittery nails are a great alternative that is stylish enough to make you stand out from the costumed crowd. “My other tip for turning your Halloween evergreen is to play with glitter,” said Chan. “Glittery nails are very photogenic and also versatile that can go with any outfit.”

Let your creative juice flow and mix and match every sparkly design you like. The key to this design is a combination of two contrasting colours—a nude base and glitter polish in copper tones to give your nails a pumpkin-spice vibe.

Another innovative French tip-style Halloween manicure to put on your radar: nude nails with classic candy corn colours and cute ghosts. 

To achieve this look, you’ll need square nails with rounded edges because the focus is really on the coloured tips and the ghost stickers, as shorter shapes won’t have the same effect. The design is the perfect update on the classic French manicure, and a look that’s feminine and cute.
