Creepy (But Cool!) Nail Art Trends 💅🎃 October 17, 2025

When it comes to Halloween, costumes aren’t the only way to show off your spooky spirit—your nails can be part of the fun too! From subtle spooky vibes to full-on fright-night glam, nail art gives you a chance to play with creativity while keeping it stylish. Here are some creepy (but oh-so-cool!) nail art trends our Nail Tech students are loving this Halloween season:

1. Spider Web Designs 🕸️

Delicate black webs painted on nude or dark bases make for a classy-yet-creepy vibe. Add a little sparkle with silver accents or a rhinestone “spider” for extra drama.

2. Bloody Drips 🩸

Red drip designs over a nude or black base create a bold, eerie look. Whether it’s vampire-inspired or horror movie chic, this design is always a Halloween classic.

3. Candy Corn Nails 🍬

For a sweeter side of spooky, candy corn-inspired stripes bring instant Halloween nostalgia. Mix it up with glitter or a matte finish for a trendy twist.

4. Haunted French Tips 👻

Put a Halloween spin on the classic French manicure with black tips, orange outlines, or even tiny bats and ghosts peeking from the corners.

5. Pumpkin Patch Nails 🎃

Mini pumpkins, vines, and leaves add a cute yet seasonal flair. Pair with rich fall shades like deep orange, burgundy, and gold for a festive finish.

✨ Whether you’re into sweet or spooky, nail art is one of the best ways to show off your creativity during Halloween. At The Salon Professional Academy in Collegeville, our nail tech students practice designs like these while building the skills they’ll use in the beauty industry.
