Your nails can be scary and still slay!
You probably have your makeup and your costume ready for Halloween, but what about your nails, sis? Here are spooky nail designs you can do in less than 10 minutes:
1. Achieve a slippery slime with a deep purple nail polish and a neon green detail.

Pro tip: Use a Q-tip to get the green slime drip. Make sure the purple polish is completely dry first so you don't get any major swirling.
2. If simple and polished is more your speed, achieve an effortless mani with an orange mani with black stitching. Don't forget your top coat!
3. What's spookier than a scary cat? Paint half a cat on one nail and a puuuuuuuurfect tail on another.

Pro Tip: Have a pencil laying around? Dip it in black polish so you can get those fine lines for the outline of the cat. Wipe it off and reuse to get your spooky green eyes!
4. Honestly you can put all eyes on someone with this cute eye design...

A circle and a dot in the center. Draw some lashes if you REALLY want to be fancy, but eh, it's your show.
5. ...Or put a bit more fright into fright night with this chilling view.

Black coat. Let it dry. Apply white stripes. Repeat.
7. ...Or a green chrome to mirror the living dead.
8. Or actually be a living monster with a Frankenstein design.

Dots and lines, friends. It's just dots and lines.
9. Or maybe you just want a signature nail and can go for a ghost on one hand and some spider webs on another to lure people in.
10. Capture this ghost by drawing a scary face on a white nail polish. Don't worry if you don't have a steady hand, ghosts aren't perfect!

Seriously, draw whatever faces you want. I don't think ghosts have faces, anyways.
11. Pull off A Nightmare Before Christmas with some spider webs, polka dots, and a few scary stitches.
12. Go for glam with a matte black nail lacquer and some stealthy green eyes — oh, and some encrusted jewels for a bit of bling!
13. Take flight with some winged bats and a glittery top coat.

Step one: French tip. Step two: Draw inverted triangles on with black polish. Step three: Top coat with some glittery, baby.
14. Who says every nail has to be the same? Bask in some bloody red nails, a seducing spider web, a bit of chrome, and of course, some eyes for good measure.
15. Scare people with your pumpkin-inspired nails with an orange base and some sketched black designs.
16. When in doubt, do a bit of colorblocking for the tastiest candy corn around town.
