Scream Nails

Like many other nails on this list, this is an homage to a halloween classic: the 1996 movie Scream. On one nail is Ghostface's iconic mask and on the others are perfect blood drips, perhaps representing all his merciless killings. Beautiful and sinister, just like Halloween should be!

Blood Splatter Nails

Though blood drips are very much in right now, blood spatters are far more realistic. This technique is done by using an old toothbrush or spoolie, dipping it into the nail polish and spraying the fake blood splatter onto a neutral coat of polish. Easy and effective, you'll look just out of a Halloween crime scene.

Demonic Nun Halloween Nails

The creepier the better! Undoubtedly one of the best parts about Halloween is embracing our spooky interests in movies and media. So why not stamp that onto your nails? The combination of demonic nun faces, religious symbols and blood splatters will really give you some goosebumps.

Voodoo Doll Nails

Though this may not be as creepy as the others in this list, voodoo dolls are surely an eerie premise. The stitches in this look are incredibly precise and the red heart brings it all together.
