Nailing Halloween 2026

Halloween in Brooklyn is a full-contact sport. The costumes are elaborate, the brownstone stoops are decorated like movie sets, and your nails? They're part of the look. But here's the thing: the best Halloween nails aren't the goofiest ones. They're the ones that are just spooky enough — the kind you still love on November 3rd.

Here are the designs our artists are painting on repeat.

Celestial witch nails
Glossy black almonds with gold-leaf flakes, a hand-painted crescent moon, and four-point stars. Very coven, very chic, and honestly wearable until spring.

Ghost French tips
A sheer nude base, a glossy black French tip, and one tiny cartoon ghost peeking out. Cute, a little cheeky, and office-safe if you squint.

Blood-red drip
A classic red with a glossy "drip" detail at the cuticle. Dramatic? Yes. Perfect for a vampire costume? Absolutely.

Molten gold cat-eye
Long almond stilettos in magnetic gold gel that melts from bronze to pure light every time you move your hands. Gilded vampire energy for the party, and it carries you straight into holiday season.

Día de los Muertos

For many of our clients, the season isn't just Halloween — it's Día de los Muertos on November 1 and 2. Think a white accent nail with a black calavera, framed by dots of burgundy and marigold orange, next to solid pumpkin and black nails. It's a beautiful way to honor the holiday with color and detail.

Book early — seriously

The last week of October is our busiest of the season, and custom art books up fast. Reserve your spot a few days ahead, bring your costume inspo, and let our artists build a set around it. All our polishes are non-toxic, so your nails stay healthy enough for the holiday sets coming next.

Get spooky. Book Halloween nail art at our Greenpoint or Williamsburg salon before the 31st.
