Halloween Nail Art That's Vaguely Appropriate and Freakishly Pretty
Franken-green face makeup may only last a day, but spooky nail art will last a lifetime — okay, maybe a week, if you take good care of your manicure. And you'll never guess how completely adorable Halloween nail art can be when it's toned down a bit. Each of these looks is decently achievable if you know your way around a skinny nail art brush; if you want to drool over what the real pros are doing, check out my Halloween nail art Pinterest page and prepare for some freaky nail envy.

Classy Halloween Nails
Orange polish and a spiderweb ring finger make this a sophisticated Halloween-themed manicure. Add a big accent ring and even the Queen of England might approve.

Sugar Skull Nails
Those 3-D sugar skull eyes are too pretty to be spooky. I want to be their friend, I think.

Things That Go Bump in the Dark Nails

Candy Corn Accent Nail
You could do a full set of candy corn nails, but this version is much sweeter.

You'll never walk along when you've got GHOSTS frolicking on your hands!

Harlequin Pedicure
Glittery, beautiful, and a bit eerie (harlequins have that whole glamorous Italian clown vibe going on). Love this on a big toe, would love it more on every digit.

Witchy Fingers
This may be my favorite look from the bunch. It's intense, but there's nothing technically Halloween-like about it... which makes it even creepier. If you decide to go the colorful claw route, try drawing on some mysterious finger tattoos with a black pen.
