It’s the month of Halloween, which means one thing… fun, stylish and seriously spooky manicures. If your clients are on the hunt to Halloween-ify their tips, or just looking to add a subtle seasonal touch to their mani, we have this year's Halloween nail trends that tick every client's box. Let’s dive into this season's hottest Halloween nail looks…

 

For clients who want a nod to the season without going full-on spooky vibes, the Minimalist Pumpkin design is the perfect touch. Starting with a neutral, nude base, these tiny pumpkin designs add a simple yet elegant touch of Halloween without the over-the-top detail.

 

Add a touch of magic to your clients' spooky mani with these sparkly ghost nails. These tiny ghosts added to a sheer shimmer base are a super playful yet cute vibe to add to your clients' nails this Halloween season.

 

Sleek, subtle and mysterious, black cat nails are the pur-fect choice for Halloween. Whether it’s minimalist cat eyes, a sleek silhouette, or glossy black claws, this nail trend channels major ‘witchy cool-girl’ energy.

Wednesday Adam’s called, she wants her nails back. Spotted on it-girls, Kylie Jenner and Dua Lipa, Stripey Nails are giving serious cool girl energy this season. Being a modern twist on the classic French mani, use black and white stripes, candy corn colours, or Halloween-inspired patterns across almond-shaped nails for the ultimate stripey tip look.

 

Purple is *the* shade of the season, from deep amethyst tones to milky lilacs. It’s moody yet girly, enough to fit any client's style. Combine it with a chrome finish, spider web & bat details, or an ombre fade for that haunting look.

The cutest trend this spooky season? Halloween cherries. It’s the viral cherry nail trend that’s been reimagined with a spooky twist. Think pumpkins and skulls to create the perfect cherry shape, paired with a deep red or French tip. It’s the perfect mix of super sweet and sinister…

French tips, but with a terrifying twist. The dripping blood tips bring all the drama to your clients' mani, paired with the very on-trend cherry cola colour for that autumnal finish.

Sometimes less is more, and these minimal Halloween motifs prove it! Think fine line bats, small ghost elements, and spiderwebs on a sheer base. It’s super chic, wearable, and perfect for clients who want something seasonal yet sophisticated.

 

Why choose one design when you can have them all? Mix & match Halloween nails are huge this season, with each nail featuring a different motif, from pumpkins and ghosts to stripes and cats. It’s super playful, creative, and perfect for those indecisive clients!

 

For clients who like to keep things cute and girly no matter the time of year, these pink-ified Halloween nails are a must. Using an array of different pink tones, combined with the classic Halloween accents, creates a spooky yet sweet manicure for the gals who like to add a dash of pink to their mani.

This Halloween, we are loving the crossover of spooky vibes that are still super chic and sophisticated. From subtle, minimalist pumpkins to statement stripey tips, these Halloween nail trends are the dream for nail techs wanting to show off their artistic, creative side, while giving clients something super fun for the spooky season.
