Glow-in-the-dark gels and pigments

It is time to get spooky. Halloween is around the corner, so we have prepared a list of cute Halloween nail ideas. We have everything from simple designs to advanced nail art for inspiration. Before we dive into the 2024 Halloween nail ideas, we have chosen our favorite colors that we encourage you to keep on the ready for your salon. On par with the go-to colors of oranges and browns, step out of your comfort zone with our shimmery builder gels. From blood red to galaxy purple, our selection offers an array of classic spooky colors that can be great for subtle holiday vibes or be spiced with Halloween nail art.

 

Try our glow-in-the-dark pigment bundle to bring your nail idea to life. It comes with our magenta purple and creamy peach gels with three neutral glowing pigments: orange, blue, or green. These colors can vibrantly glow for up to two weeks before fading. Use our Glow in the Dark Bundle to create zombies or ghosts that come alive in the dark.

Spider Nail Art

Looking for easy Halloween nail art designs for clients without extensions? Instead of creating blackout nails for the spooky holiday, give your client a creepy crawly set — perfect for any age. Paint most of your client's nails black, leaving two light nails with a soft nude gel. Using a detail brush, paint a spiderweb on one nail and a spider on the other.

Ghost Nail Art Ideas 

Ghosts are an iconic symbol for Halloween. Create a ghost-themed nail design using our glow-in-the-dark pigments, along with black, white, and other Halloween accent colors.  Apply a pink or nude builder gel as a base color. Mix white with our Glow Pigments to paint ghosts. With a fine detail brush, use Jet Black Studio Gel™ to outline the ghosts for extra dimension. Add a simple nail design surrounding the ghosts with your chosen accent colors. Our licensed nail technician painted flowers to complement the ghost art. Apply our Extreme Shine Top Coat for a glossy finish. Now the ghost nails will shine in the light and glow in the dark.

A Gold Pumpkin Nail Design

Try gold pumpkin nail art for a classy take on the haunting holiday this October. Use a light pink or nude gel polish for the base of this cute nail design. Every other nail will be an outline of a pumpkin or a curved stem with leaves. For the pumpkins, use a soft pale orange to slightly color the area before you bring the design to life. Grab your dazzling gold or rose gold nail gel and your trusty detail brush to create the pumpkin nail art.

Extra Spooky Nail Art: Scream Nails

Give your client spine-chilling nails that make you just want to scream with a spooky twist on French tip nails. Make a dramatic white tip for every nail but the middle finger. Grab your blood-red builder gel, create a line between the white and nude gels, then paint a blood-dripping design with the drops falling to the tip of the nail. 

 

For the middle finger, paint it all white. Using the trusty black gel polish, create an outline of Ghostface’s face before adding his eyes, nose, and mouth. Add a splatter of red throughout for an added layer of terror.
