Find all of your October nail ideas right here, whether you want a spooky design or a straightforward seasonal manicure!
Halloween may seem like it’s all about the costumes. But after you see this array of elaborate and lovely patterns, you’ll understand that nails can stand on their own as complete works of (freaky) art.
For fans of nail art, October is the only month of the year it’s socially acceptable to wear nails covered with blood, spiderwebs, and other gut-wrenching designs – so go for it!
Bloody French Tip
If you usually choose classic French nails, try a vivid red tint instead of the customary tip colour of stark white. Although optional, the accent nail covered in blood droplets is strongly recommended.
Cats & Ghosts
Can’t decide between adorable black kitties and stylish ghosts? For those who don’t already know, black and white nail art is hot for the autumn 2023 season, and this cheeky take on the trend is subtle enough to go with all of your October outfits.
Gothic
This Gothic look painted on pointed, stiletto-shaped claws is perfect for vampire costumes and beyond.
Pumpkin Spiced
Choose some pumpkin-inspired lacquer shades topped with inky abstract swirls for a festive manicure that pays homage to October’s go-to coffee.
Bloody Stiletto
Create realistic blood stains with a deep red lacquer, starting with a “your nails, but better” neutral tone.
Barbiecore Bone Nails
Fans of hot pink nails who still want to channel a macabre feeling can choose to paint a skeleton on each tip.

These strange and eye-catching blood-red 3D tips are sculpted to resemble bloody horror movie scenes.
Caution Tape
Set up a crime scene on your nails using blood splatters, warning tape, and silver chains to spark some discussion.
Friday The 13th
These slasher-themed nails are a suitable tribute for horror movie fans who have a soft spot in their hearts for Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.
Friendly Ghost
Want some creative, non-scary ideas? Choose this nail art, which includes lovable ghosts. The JINsoon colours Hope, Absolute White, Absolute Black, and Auspicious were combined to create this design.
Mummy Stripes
If you’re dressed as a mummy this season, this simple nail design can go with any outfit. The painting has a bold edge because of the black stripes and crisp white base coat.
Slithering Snake
With writhing snakes, spiderwebs and blood-dripping motifs, this design is a delightful way to celebrate the spooky season.
Mix N Match
You can always choose to get a different design on each hand if you can’t make up your mind on which nail art you prefer. We adore how the intricate spider web patterns and the blazing orange jack-o-lanterns contrast with one another. The inventive and entertaining mix-and-match style gives a classic Halloween outfit a lively edge.
Alien Invasion
Ghost stories are wonderful, but actual reports of alien invasions and eyewitness testimonies are superior. Ask your nail artist to paint a colourful alien and UFO scenario across your nails if you’re on the extraterrestrial side. If you dress in a costume with a space theme, bonus points!
3D Skull
Are you looking to improve your nail art? The solution is this 3D design. It has lifelike, highly detailed skulls that are encircled in gold. If, however, you feel that this pattern is too ornate for your taste, you can change it by painting plain skulls in black and gold on each nail.
