With Halloween in just a couple of days, nail artists and enthusiasts alike are getting into the spooky spirit, and GlossaryLive.com has been on the scene all month long, kicking off with the KUPA Konnect Halloween Edition on October 7th in California.

From hand-painted ghosts to intricate 3D eyeballs, these nail designs are the perfect mix of spooky and stylish. For those who prefer to keep things subtle, there are still plenty of ways to embrace the Halloween spirit without going too gory. A favorite look this season features chrome ghost nails, adding a sleek and modern twist to the classic Halloween icon. Or, how about a whimsical mix of flowers and cute ghosts for a demure yet festive style?

One of the standout trends this year takes inspiration from the cult classic film, Beetlejuice. These nails channel the movie’s signature black and white stripes and ghoulish color palette, giving a fun and nostalgic nod to Halloween.
