“Can you wear a Halloween-inspired mani past the 31st of October?” is the existential nail question that plagues a spooky season lover like me come November 1st. Unsurprisingly, the last week of October had some of the most fun Halloween nails (adorable ghost decals, skull embellishments, and all the black, red, and orange you can think of) flooding my social pages. So this has me flexing that creative muscle in my brain on how to wear some of these festive designs even long after I store my costume away.
During this transition season when it is about to be all about the cozy foliage and eventually fun holiday looks, I’ve found myself saving a wide array of nail inspo in my favorites on Instagram. I’ve not only found eccentric Halloween designs that fill my need for year-round witchy vibes, but also the warm velvet and cat eye looks and jeweled accents for whenever I want to switch up my current mani. If you’re feeling that itch to change up your look and have no idea where to start, I’ve got you covered. Below are the 10 best nail looks of the past week.
