Minimalist Halloween nails are trending, and, well, no major surprises there. Now that the countdown to Halloween is officially on, it makes sense that you (and me, and my colleagues) are scouring social media for the best fall nail inspo out there. And, as is increasingly the case, subtle takes on otherwise maximalist and kitschy designs are coming out on top, from ghost French tips and spiderweb accents to blood-red glossy ovals and tiny floating pumpkins.<\/p>\n

Whether \u201cminimalist Halloween nails\u201d means barely there, blink-and-you\u2019ll-miss-it odes to the spooky holiday or clean, simple designs with one standout detail, I\u2019ve compiled a wide range of inspiration ahead to help you plan your manicure, including options for short and long nails, almond and stiletto shapes, press-ons and your natural nails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Vampire\u2019s Glass of Merlot<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re more \u201cI\u2019ll skip the costume, thanks!\u201d than someone who\u2019s quick to sport full-on fangs (I get it), this is your Halloween manicure. It\u2019s a glossy, deep oxblood courtesy of the ever-chic designs of @lolonailedit. It feels moody and expensive and won\u2019t go out of style after October 31.<\/p>\n

One Haunted Finger<\/h2>\n

Boo-ly (Barely) There<\/h2>\n

Calling all fans of the nearly natural nail trend, whether you know it as soap nails, clean-girl nails or \u201cyour nails but better.\u201d Seen here courtesy of @thedailynailofficial, a sheer pink base keeps things as minimalist as it gets, and then one tiny ghost peeks out adorably from the side of each nail.<\/p>\n

Itsy Bitsy Chrome<\/h2>\n

I didn\u2019t think spiders could look chic, but then again, here we are. Tiny 3D chrome spiders sit on soft, milky-pink almond nails in this design by @nailsbyalenaj.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ghost Doodles<\/h2>\n

This set by @diananailedit looks like someone doodled in the margins of a notebook, in the best way. Thin black squiggles wobble into ghost shapes over a sheer, milky base on long almonds, and none of them match. It\u2019s a little abstract, whimsical and a great source of inspo if regular ghost nails feel too literal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Cat\u2019s Out of the Bag<\/h2>\n

The French manicure meets spooky season in this minimalist Halloween manicure by @sansungnails featuring glossy black tips with two little points for cat ears. The sparkly eyes are easy to miss at first, then suddenly impossible to ignore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mix-and-Match Mischief<\/h2>\n

Consider this the most maximalist of the minimalist options. This set by @kayliegnails uses a different design on almost every nail: sheer black polka dots, skinny black pinstripes over a pale pink base, a glossy solid black accent and a couple of tiny ghosts outlined in gold. It sounds like a lot, but the muted palette keeps the whole look feeling minimalist (at least, that\u2019s how I see it). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
