Bugging out
As Beetlejuice is one of the most talked-about movies on TikTok this spooky season, we found ourselves singing "Day-o" while adding 3D insects to our nails. Black and white stripes are optional.

Peek-a-boo nails
We didn't know that pumpkin spice side-eye was on the manicure menu for Halloween until we saw this impossible cute design. With all the charm of Sesame Street's Cookie Monster, we have our eye on these kid-friendly claws.

Cow print
Don't have a cow if you're surrounded by bovine looks this Halloween. Considering this print has been picking sartorial steam quicker than we can chug a glass of milk, we're looking forward to some utterly ridiculous costumes on October 31. With moo-tiful manicures to match, naturally.

Something witchy this way comes
For those midnight seances, a starry night sky is required. Even better if it comes with gold accents.

Back to black
If you're ever in doubt, you can always go back to black. We prefer ours with a high-impact vinyl shine.
