What’s the number one Halloween combo? Of course, orange and black. These two colors will forever be iconic for spooky manicures and costume trends (Pumpkins, spider webs, ghosts, etc.) Together, they capture everything Halloween represents: the warmth of fall(orange) and the thrill of all things mysterious and eerie(Black).
Spooky Orange and black Halloween nail art ideas
Classic Jack-o’-Lanterns
Paint each nail in a vibrant orange, then add black jack-o’-lantern faces. This fun, nostalgic look pairs well with a cozy, casual style. For this Halloween-themed manicure, try an oversized orange or black sweater, high-waisted jeans, and ankle boots. And to complete the look, add some quirky Halloween accessories, like pumpkin earrings or a playful beanie.
Dancing Skeleton manicure
Yes, dancing skeleton nails are perfect for Halloween! They also pair well with other Halloween motifs like bats, stars, or pumpkins, which makes them lively for the season.
All-in-one creep
Instead of following only one Halloween trend, combine them all and create a design that looks like this. None of them is less scary than the other!
Tiger print
Wild animals are deeply associated with the Halloween concept, so it is pretty relevant to paint your nails entirely with an animal print nail art.
Snake accents
This design will definitely give your nails a bold and edgy look for Halloween! Incorporate designs like snake scales, coiling snakes, or even snake bites for a creepy effect.
Orange and black stitch Skin nails
Stitch skin nails can be a great choice for a spooky Halloween look! They create a creepy, textured effect that resembles stitched skin, perfect for a horror-themed aesthetic.
Orange and black trick-or-treat nails
Trick-or-treat Halloween nail designs perfectly capture the spirit of the holiday.
Orange and Black polka dot nails
Polka dots are a fun and easy way to celebrate Halloween in style. To create even dots, try using a dotting tool.
Thick french tip
Regular thin French tips are subtle and elegant. When you go thick, it appears to be cute and spooky
Mixed Halloween nail art
This creative twist on the classic French tip design captures Halloween’s essence with charming ghosts, vibrant pumpkins, and a hint of eerie dripping blood—making it a perfect, spooky-chic nail set.
Orange and Black glitter nails
Glitter sets the perfect sky for spooky accents to stand out. This one is the perfect match for those who want to have a gothic look with almond-shaped nails, instead of stiletto.
Brush Mark Short Ghost Nails
There are very few Halloween nail arts you can try on short nails. This manicure design is one of these.
Classic orange and black nails
Nothing intricate or difficult is required. Just paint your nails with a Classic bright orange color, and sprinkle black glitter on accent nails. As easy as it sounds!
Witch and bat accent
The connection of bats to vampire settings enhances their eerie reputation. This makes them a fitting symbol for the Halloween season. I recommend wearing a faux leather jacket to fully complement these dark, night-inspired haunted nails.
Little Ghosts
I’m used to seeing large ghost accents on nails for Halloween. This unique take on the traditional ghost manicure, with the added black French tip and orange grid design, is truly captivating.
