This nail design is for those who aren’t really into scary movies but love those little ghosts and ghouls. The design itself is simple and feminine with a spooky twist. You’ll just need a neutral baby pink and bone-chilling white to create the look.

This next look is perfect for those looking to incorporate the classic Halloween staples: bats, pumpkins and spiders. The design is great if you want a little of everything incorporated into the design. Each nail has a different element of the Halloween spirit. For this one, you’re going to need a very steady hand, the perfect pumpkin orange, and jet black for the spider.

If you’re a Halloween movie fanatic, you will be no stranger to this next design. Whether or not The Nightmare Before Christmas is considered a Halloween movie or a Christmas film, it makes for one creative and spooky nail design. This nail set is inspired by the film, its characters and its recognizable scenery. Not only will you need someone with artistic skills to pull this one off, you will also need to find that perfect shade of green.

Okay horror movie fans, this one is for you. If you want to get the iconic blood drip effect for your Halloween costume, this tutorial is perfect. You are going to need a robust shade of red, but you are also going to need a super skinny brush for those outlines. The look is perfect for your Halloween costume or a subtle design to celebrate the day.

This next nail design is another good simple idea—but with a twist. Another way to incorporate the Halloween spirit into your nails is to add a glow-in-the-dark element. In this case, the artist used glow-in-the-dark polish to create spider webs for a French tip. The polish can also be used as an accent in any design.

Another great movie-inspired nail set incorporates elements from Scream. Similar to the other blood drip nail, this one uses the same technique with the addition of the famous mask worn by the movie's killer. Like any of the intricate designs, you’ll need a pretty steady hand, lots of artistic ability and patience.

If you aren’t too good at nail art, this next design is a good bet. After you’ve added a nude base coat, this video helps you create one easy bat that looks like a professional took a swing. All you need is black polish, a brush and you’re off. The design is simple, and this tutorial makes it easy to recreate. Maybe just make sure you’re using your dominant hand.
Now that you're set with spooky nails, pair your look with a Halloween cocktail concoction, or take your nails on a vacation to one of the country's most haunted hotels.
