As Halloween approaches, it’s time to get into the spooky spirit, and what better way to do that than with a ghost-themed manicure? Whether you’re preparing for an elaborate costume or simply want a fun and quick Halloween accessory, a ghostly design on your nails can be the perfect touch. If you want to rock some supernatural nails, here are 21 ghost nail art ideas that will make your Halloween manicure both spooky and cute.
1. Holographic Foil Ghosts
Want to add some sparkle to your spooky nails? Holographic foil ghosts are a great choice. These ghost designs are easy to create with foil nail wraps, especially on a rich black polish. The contrast between the holographic design and black polish makes for a stylish Halloween manicure.

Velvet nails are all the rage this season, and they can be spooky too! Try using black and navy magnetic polishes for a midnight effect that’s both ethereal and haunting. This look requires a bit more skill, but the result is worth it.
3. Frightening French
Take a classic French manicure and give it a Halloween twist. Alternate black and white tips with a spooky ghost accent nail. This is a great way to make a traditional French look fit for Halloween!
4. Mismatched Accents
If you can’t decide on just one Halloween motif, why not use them all? A black-and-white base with different Halloween icons like ghosts, spiders, cats, and mummies will make your nails stand out. This design is quirky and fun, perfect for Halloween.

Negative space nail art is easy but impactful. Simply use a nude base and paint on small ghost designs. This design is low-effort but looks high-impact, making it perfect for a quick Halloween manicure.
