Halloween ready? Never without some skeletons! These nails are brilliant, they almost look 3D thanks to the very effective shadowing of the bones. Add some drops of blood for some extra goriness.

16. Flamin’ Hot Nails

If you look carefully, there is a lot of detail in these nails. There are bats, a pumpkin and spider webs. These nails are more abstract, but they’re totally killing the Halloween vibes!

Keep your nails classy and elegant with these matte black nails. Add some Halloween spirit with the black metallic squiggles. It looks like smoke or spider webs, you decide!

18. Candy Man Nails

These definitely win for the grossest nails out of these Halloween nail ideas. The nails look like actual skin that’s been engraved with words and cuts.

I’m sure if you’ve watched Candy Man, these nails will mean more to you, but horror movies are not for me. At least not if I want to sleep at night!
