This take on black and orange nails is a fall-inspired nail art design that involves polka dots. It contains black, orange, white, and yellow, so it is a perfect fit for the scariest night of the year. It does not tackle a specific theme but embodies all the Halloween elements. And it is super-easy to make, so you do not have to go to the local nail salon. You just have to paint the nails in alternate colors and then make small dots of contrasting colors. You can go with simple bat Halloween nail ideas without having to worry about going overboard.
Dainty Spiderwebs
These candy corn nails are a tasteful take on All Hallows' Eve and only require a couple of shades of orange polish and a steady hand to replicate. Possibly the cutest little ghosts we’ve ever seen belong to this set of nails. The ghosts are all dressed up for Trick or Treating underneath a starry sky, masquerading as a witch, vampire, Jack-o'-Lantern, and Frankenstein. Leaving room for negative space completely elevates a regular black mani.
Super Cute Pumpkins
Starting with a “your nails but better” neutral shade of polish, create realistic blood stains with a deep red shade. While candy corn is a polarizing Halloween-time treat, there’s no arguing that the combination of white, yellow, and orange makes an adorable manicure. For those who typically opt for classic French nails, trade in the stark white hue that’s traditionally used for the tip for a vibrant red shade. The accent nail with blood drips is optional, but highly encouraged.

It may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think Halloween (unless you're a Hocus Pocus fanatic), but these black flame nails give off a scary vibe. We love the almond-shaped style and how the curves mimic those of the flames. To craft your flames, use a toothpick or polish pen to outline your flame and then gently fill it in.

It might be a good idea to first brush on some liquid latex to the skin around the nails so that you won’t make a mess out of your fingers.
