The Best Halloween Designs:

Alien Nails

This set is truly unique and everyone will be wanting to get a second look at your nails, there’s so much you can play with here. Pearls, planet charms, glitter - you name it.

This diamanté design is very similar to Meg Thee Stallion's recent look but extra extra long! Nail Technician Sephora, @essvibes said this set took her a total of seven hours, so it might not be the best set to recreate if you're on a time crunch.

This a personal favourite of mine, it says Halloween but with that fancy edge to it (its all in the gems). These also have great potential, as you can mix them up and do the webs in any colour, to suit everyone's mood, whether it's glitzy or gory.

This is a spooky nail design that can be achieved on shorter nails.

Halloween nail art doesn't need to be creepy or dark. Take this set below, its cute and would compliment a Hello Kitty costume.

Nails dipped and drizzled in fake blood is a Halloween classic, this set would compliment anyone going for a gory costume.

If you can't decide on a look this year, a combination of all things that say Halloween would be a good choice for you.

3D nail art always looks amazing - add this to your Instagram nail folder ASAP.

Anything glow in the dark gets my vote. Hello, this set below is so cool and the rings also add the perfect finishing touches.

Aura nails are such a vibe, you can have so much fun with this by playing around with colours and nail shapes.

If you love a bit of length here's a similar design to the above, the shape of these are everything.

A pretty pick for those who are going for a sweet Halloween look.

After Little Mermaid's release we predict we'll see a spark in mermaid nails again in October. In fact the phrase ‘Ariel costume’ currently receives an average of 8,000 monthly searches worldwide.

If you go for this design, theres a 100% chance someone will ask for picture.

Cartoon nail art always bring out your inner child. Cookie Monster and Kaws designs are my favourite. This set uses BIAB.

If Anime is your bag, ask your nail tech to take inspo from your loved characters.

Halloween is all about creativity and this freestyle design reflects just that, I'd rock this during summer too.

Nail designs are not limited to long nails and if natural manicures are more your thing, pick a natural base coat and a thin brush and DIY your nail art from the comfort of your home.

If you want a nail look that won't scream Halloween after the main event, chrome is always a good option. A word of warning, I've used chrome powder and it does have a tendency to chip!

Browns, oranges and rich hues reflect the season, almond nails compliment most designs too.

This year if you're going as Barbie why not do the same to your nails?

Scream is always a Halloween favourite, this is a good one to mix and match.

Lovers of the classic french manicures, try a bat frenchie!

This nail design is a nod to the Christmas season and the matt polish adds a unique touch.

Simple and effective.

Tortoise shell nails will carry you through Autumn (more inspo here).

You can play up this design with different coloured tips or flame oulines.

Combing TV shows and films is always a good shout if you don't know where to start.

You can't go wrong with a black nail design and you can add that extra wow factor by making it see-through.
