30 Halloween Nail Designs That Bring Chic Spookiness to 2025
Halloween nails in 2025 are all about blending eerie charm with high-fashion edge. Think moody gradients, glossy chrome webs, and playful pops of neon that make every costume feel instantly elevated. This year, the vibe is less kitschy and more chicly terrifying.
Whether you’re going for subtle seasonal touches or full-on spooky statement art, these nail designs prove you don’t need a costume to turn heads. Get ready to scroll through ideas that are equal parts festive, stylish, and downright haunting.
1. Spooky Chic Monochrome
Black and white never looked so good (or this hauntingly cute). @18k.nailboutique gives us the ultimate ghostly glam with crisp French tips flipped into a Halloween dream—featuring tiny bats, friendly ghosts, and twinkling stars. The design is a clever combo of playful and polished, with squared tips adding that dose of Y2K cool.
This set isn’t just nail art—it’s a whole vibe. You’ve got clean lines, a soft nude base, and that contrast of stark black and bright white that pops off the fingertips. It’s minimalist but still says, “Yes, I do own a cauldron and no, I’m not telling you what’s in it.”
Honestly, this is perfect for the person who wants their Halloween nails to whisper “boo,” not scream it. Subtle spook with a side of style? We’re here for it.
2. Pretty Pink & Petrifying
Who said Halloween can’t be adorable? @ardentnailslashes_ went full-on spooky-sweet with this bubblegum pink set, and the result is an absolute treat. From the googly-eyed mummy to the goth pumpkins and spiderweb hearts, this is spooky season’s soft-girl aesthetic—and it’s thriving.
The matte finish keeps everything feeling modern and the ultra-long coffin shape is runway ready. There’s so much attention to detail, from the delicate webbing to the barbed wire vibes on the pinky. If Barbie went trick-or-treating, these would be on her hands.
This set hits that rare sweet spot: playful but still wearable, festive but still fierce. We love a Halloween moment that doesn’t take itself too seriously—just like this one.
3. Haunted Neutrals
If Halloween had a minimalist cousin who drinks oat lattes and owns a capsule wardrobe, it would be this nail set by @aspnail. Muted greige nails get a dark twist with intricate black stamping—bats, webs, and lacey haunted-house accents.
It’s elegant and spooky without being costume-y. The matte base with subtle shimmer is like a foggy October morning—calm, mysterious, a little eerie. But don’t be fooled, those sharp-edged stamps bring the drama.
This is perfect for someone who wants to nod to the season without drowning in orange. It’s spooky, but make it sophisticated. A chic little Halloween flex, if you will.
4. Slash & Scream
These nails are giving full-on horror movie energy, and @beautiful_disaster_nails didn’t come to play. Each nail tells a different chapter in a blood-splattered thriller—from Freddy-inspired stripes to slasher claw marks and eerie specks of red.
The almond shape adds a sinister elegance, while the dark jelly base and glittery black accent nail scream (literally) danger. This set feels like you’ve just walked out of a haunted house—and maybe brought the villain with you.
It’s creepy. It’s chaotic. It’s totally killer. If you love Halloween for the gore, the thrill, and the drama, this is your moment.
5. Classic Jack-O-Glam
Hello, orange and black perfection! @beautybyhillsxx is channeling all the nostalgic Halloween feels with these jack-o-lantern smiles, vertical stripes, and of course—a ghost or two for good measure.
This is Halloween in its purest form. That pumpkin orange is so bold it might glow in the dark, and those hand-painted jack faces? Cheeky in the best way. The glossy finish makes it pop like candy wrappers under porch lights.
These nails are for the Halloween purist. The one who’s already picked out their costume, stocked the candy bowl, and queued up Hocus Pocus. And honestly? We salute you.
6. Ghost Glam & Glitter Gore
@chloebeautyorlando took a maximalist route to Halloween nails, and we are not mad about it. Think dripping blood, sparkly webs, googly-eyed ghosts, and red rhinestones—all layered over a milky nude base that ties it all together.
Each nail has its own spooky storyline, but they still feel cohesive. The red glitter drips? Iconic. The black branches climbing over pinky nails? Creepy cute. This is a set that goes all in, and we love that kind of commitment.
It’s basically a haunted house on your hands. If you want nails that are doing the absolute most this Halloween, you found your match.
7. Scream in Soft Pink
Ghostface but make it adorable? Say less. @cindy_nailsbytrinnie reimagines the horror icon with dreamy pink hearts for eyes and pastel webs. These coffin-shaped nails are part horror, part pop art, and all kinds of fun.
The clean French tips and soft ombré base let those scream faces shine. And the detail work? So precise it could cut glass. It’s giving spooky-chic in the most unexpected way.
We never thought we’d call Ghostface “cute,” but here we are. And honestly? We love this twisted take.
8. Shimmering Spook
@cosmeticproof proves that Halloween glam can sparkle just as hard as it scares. With a pink marbled base and pops of glittery fuchsia, this set serves ghostly glam with spiderwebs, skeletons, and skulls drawn with ultra-fine precision.
The sparkle catches the light just right, while the gothic black detailing keeps things grounded in the Halloween spirit. It’s the perfect mix of elegance and edge.
This is for the girl who shows up to the costume party in stilettos and faux fur—but still knows all the lines to The Craft. A little spooky, a lot stylish.
9. Witching Hour Realness
Dark, moody, and mystical—@crownnaillounge went full gothic fantasy with this matte masterpiece. Black silhouettes of trees, glowing moons, and hidden figures stretch across a purple mist that looks straight out of a Tim Burton dreamscape.
Each nail is like a tiny window into a haunted forest, and those jewel accents? Chef’s kiss. The almond shape keeps the drama flowing without feeling too sharp.
It’s like a tarot card reading you can wear. Perfect for the witchy ones who love their Halloween with a side of mystique.
10. Cute Creep Show
Tiny ghosts, glittering stars, and pumpkin-suited bears—@glam.haus.bh is here to prove that spooky can absolutely be sweet. This set is all about cuteness with a wink, using soft pastels and jelly finishes to bring playful Halloween characters to life.
The short round shape makes it super wearable, while the sheer pink base lets the details pop. Think kawaii-meets-Halloween, sprinkled with sparkles.
Ideal for someone who loves October but prefers treats over tricks. It’s fun, festive, and guaranteed to get compliments—from toddlers and your cool coworkers.
11. Villain Vibes Deluxe
If Disney villains had a glam squad, this would be their go-to mani. @handjobsbyallison absolutely nailed (pun intended) this Halloween-ready set featuring the Evil Queen, Cruella, Maleficent, Ursula, and that iconic poison apple. The level of detail is insane—every facial expression is chef’s kiss. The shiny black and purple ombré bases add just enough drama to let the art shine without overwhelming it.
This is not your average spooky season nail set. It’s campy, it’s fierce, and it’s unapologetically bold. The personalities of each villain pop right off the nail, like they’re about to launch into a monologue. If you want to show off your dark side and your nail tech’s insane brush control, this is it.
Would I wear this to a Halloween party? Yes. Would I wear it to the grocery store? Also yes. Because why not?
12. Trick-or-Treat Couture
This set from @honeysnailsecret is basically Halloween in acrylic form. Featuring spooky-cute versions of Pooh Bear dressed for fall, floating ghosts, mummies with glowing eyes, and dripping chocolatey accents, it’s a cartoon parade that screams October joy. The ultra-long square tips give it that editorial runway vibe, but the playful illustrations keep it cozy.
The matte background really lets the orange, brown, and white designs pop—and the intricate linework? So crisp. It’s not just cute, it’s clever, mixing elements of scare and charm in perfect balance. A reminder that Halloween doesn’t always have to be bloody—it can be adorable too.
You can almost hear the crunch of leaves under your boots when you look at these. Autumn bliss on ten perfectly painted canvases.
13. Beetlejuice Meets Pop Art
@i.d.nailbar brought us this brilliant blend of Beetlejuice stripes and ‘90s cartoon boldness—and it’s pure visual dopamine. With lime green drips, graphic stripes, and spooky ghosties saying “No Feet” (yes, really), this set is weird in the best way possible.
The alternating French tips give each nail its own personality, while the minimal nude base keeps it from feeling overwhelming. It’s like your fingertips are telling a slightly haunted bedtime story—but one with a neon plot twist. If Halloween was a Lisa Frank folder, this would be the mani.
Playful, punchy, and totally unexpected. 10/10 would rock it to a Halloween rave.
14. Cute But Spooky
If you’re into the soft spooky aesthetic, @ipsy has your number. This almond-shaped nail set is all about balance: cute little ghosts, bats, pumpkins, and sparkly stars, paired with pops of green and purple. It’s spooky season, but make it kawaii.
There’s something super wearable about this style—even if you’re not dressing up this year, your nails still get a party. The artwork is minimal enough to match any outfit, but detailed enough to get compliments from strangers. (Yes, even that guy at the coffee shop.)
This is Halloween for the subtle baddies. The “I’ll celebrate, but I’m still keeping it chic” crowd.
15. Pumpkin Afterglow
This one is fall in full glam. @madam_glam delivers a fiery palette of burnt orange, black, and glittering copper, paired with silhouettes of trees, bats, and gravestones. The coffin shape was made for this vibe, and it shows.
Every nail feels like a sunset in a haunted forest. The hand-painted trees against that golden glow? Literal art. This is the set you wear when you’re going all in for October: horror movie marathons, apple picking, PSL in hand.
It’s giving elegant decay, and we’re absolutely here for it.
16. Widow’s Web
Arachnophobes, look away. @milannail_sandysprings just dropped this blood-red, silver, and black spiderweb fantasy, and it’s terrifyingly beautiful. The gradient backgrounds create this smoky, dimensional base that makes each spider pop. And the web detailing? Razor-sharp.
This set is for the dramatic goth queens out there. The ones who own five black trench coats and know every line from “The Craft.” It’s moody, edgy, and unapologetically dark—but still polished enough to pass for fashion-forward.
You don’t wear these nails. You wield them.
17. Blood Drip Realness
@milanonailspa_memorial served up Scream-core realness with this chilling, glossy set. The blood splatter, the ghostface details, the murder-weapon-red accents—it’s like a horror movie in micro art form. The almond shape adds an elegant touch that contrasts beautifully with the gore.
What makes this set iconic is how clean it is despite the chaotic theme. It’s horror, but make it editorial. Perfect for horror buffs, scream queens, or anyone who wants to turn their nails into a spooky talking point.
Warning: You might scare your grandma. But that’s kind of the point.
18. Moody Mono Ghosts
Black and white never looked this bewitching. @nailfetish3329 proves you don’t need color to make a spooky statement. With floating ghosts, crescent moons, and little bats dancing across your tips, this set is eerie elegance in its purest form.
The almond shape keeps things feminine, while the clean graphic contrast makes it feel modern and cool. It’s giving haunted chic, but also versatile enough to wear long after Halloween is over.
Perfect if you like your scares subtle and your style sharp.
19. Pumpkin Punks
Straight to the point and straight-up badass—@nails_by_kait_ nailed the Halloween energy with these high-contrast jack-o’-lantern faces. The matte orange and black finish screams October, and every nail has a personality of its own—ranging from goofy to full-on evil grin.
This is not your average pumpkin patch. It’s spiced with attitude. The orange practically glows, and the expressions? Let’s just say, these little guys could definitely form a punk band.
Bold, bright, and a little mischievous. Just how Halloween should be.
20. Spooky Pink Slay
Who says Halloween can’t be pink? @nailsandmoresalon broke the rules—and it’s iconic. Featuring skulls, spiderwebs, dripping blood, and twinkly stars—all with a neon Barbie-pink twist—this set is where cute meets creepy.
Every detail is intentional. The way the pink fades into black on the feature nails? Genius. The contrast makes the design pop even more, and the subtle rhinestones add just enough sparkle to turn heads. It’s spooky and sparkly—aka the dream.
This one’s for the glam ghouls. The girls who want a side of slay with their scare.
21. Boo-tiful Mayhem
This is Halloween maximalism and I’m eating it up. We’ve got flames, mummies, ghosts, pumpkins, bats, and full haunted-house drama—on one set! The orange and black base screams spooky szn, but it’s the crisp illustration work that steals the show. Look closely at the mini cauldron—yes, it’s bubbling.
Each nail feels like a mini movie scene. There’s even a nail that says “Trick or Treat” in funky white script, like an old horror movie poster. It’s cheeky, loud, and honestly? Zero chill in the best way. If Lisa Frank did Halloween, it might look like this.
22. Chrome Dagger Dreams
If Halloween went to a goth fashion week afterparty, this would be its manicure. Blood reds, liquid chrome silvers, moody blacks, and intricate detailing—including bows, webs, and even tiny piercings—make this set feel part vampire coven, part K-pop stage.
You’ve got layers here. From soft transparency to razor-sharp chrome accents, each nail has a different vibe, but somehow it all slaps together beautifully. The cherries? A little unexpected, a little creepy. Exactly the kind of glamorously spooky chaos we sign up for in October.
23. Cute & Cursed
A pastel Halloween moment? Yes, please. This adorable set dials down the fear and amps up the fun. With soft pink tones as a base, the ghosties, mummies, and pumpkins look more “friendly haunting” than “actual nightmare.” Plus, a sprinkle of rhinestones adds just the right glitz.
These nails feel like candy corn went to a rave but stayed polite. They’re playful, glossy, and have that perfect salon-finished gleam. It’s the kind of set you wear to hand out full-size candy bars while still looking too-cute-to-spook.
24. Haunted Elegance
We need to talk about how rich this black-and-silver combo looks. This is haunted mansion chic. With chrome pumpkins, glinting spider webs, and adorable little ghosties peeking out from the shadows, this mani proves that Halloween can be classy and creepy.
The negative space is used so well here. That semi-sheer base gives just enough peekaboo skin to make the whole thing feel high fashion. And the tiny silver stars? Pure magic. A solid choice if you like your horror in couture form.
25. Cosmic Coven
Who knew beige and black could cast such a spell? This set leans witchy rather than cheesy, with mystical hand silhouettes, serpents, and even a crystal ball. It’s quiet, sleek, and full of that “I know your birth chart” energy.
There’s a softness to the art—minimal yet commanding. Like it’s whispering spells instead of shouting them. If you’re the kind of Halloween lover who prefers tarot to trick-or-treating, this one’s for you.
26. Kawaii Creeps
Sweet but make it sinister. This set goes for sparkle overload with sugar-coated glitter nails, soft pinks, and cartoon ghosts and spiders. It’s giving early-2000s Bratz with a Halloween twist—and I love that for us.
The drip design (literally) melts down the nails, while glitter plays off the light with every hand flick. There’s a nostalgic vibe here—like spooky season through rose-colored glasses. Adorable, sparkly chaos.
27. Screaming Chic
This set said: let’s get bloody. Long coffin-shaped claws drenched in black, red, and metallics scream horror movie poster. The iconic Ghostface design takes center stage, while blood drips down with glossy menace.
It’s simple, graphic, and totally badass. The red glitter nails hit like a jump scare in the best way. Basically, it’s the final girl manicure. Fierce. Fearless. Fabulous.
28. Ghoul Next Door
Cute ghosts, tiny pumpkins, and a dash of cobwebs—this set is pure “friendly neighborhood witch.” The gold detailing adds warmth and a bit of fall luxury to an otherwise simple pastel base.
There’s balance here. The white pumpkins and golden webs manage to feel dainty without disappearing into the background. If you want something Halloween-coded that still works for a wine tasting, this is it.
29. Ghosts in the Details
Less is definitely more here. With a clean nude base and just enough black-and-white accents—ghosts, webs, checkerboard tips—this mani feels modern, curated, and downright wearable.
The charm? It’s in the proportions. Nothing overpowers. Even the ghosts look like they’re minding their own business. It’s like the clean-girl aesthetic went trick-or-treating and came back cooler.
30. Boo in Blue
Listen, these holographic blue nails are not here to play nice. With layered ghost art, sparkly starbursts, and the word “BOO!” shouted across the set, it’s giving haunted rave.
The base color alone is a showstopper—like a galaxy in a bottle. Add to that the crisp white graphics and cartoon ghosties, and you’ve got a set that screams fun without a single jump scare. Pure spooky joy.
