Now that nail art has taken over the world — and, most importantly, the Internet — there are nails for every occasion: Christmas, Thanksgiving, your third cousin’s Bar Mitzvah, your former co-worker’s Graceland destination wedding. But no holiday inspires the nail art world like Halloween. Whether it’s tiny renderings of horror movie villains, nails painted to look like zombie claws, or a 3D press-on set called “fierce black cats and brains on crack,” there’s plenty of scary — and scarily elaborate — Halloween nail art out there. We’ve spent longer than we’d like to admit scouring the web for the best examples, and our 25 favorite designs are below.
