For some people, the period of time just before Halloween feels like the most wonderful time of the year. The days get shorter, the weather cools down and Halloween merch starts arriving a good two months before the actual holiday. Whether dressing up in costume really isn't your jam or you just can't rock enough Halloween looks between September 1 and October 31, you're definitely going to want to check out this Halloween nail art. The adorably spooky designs can start gracing your fingertips as early as you'll let them and can even take the place of a traditional Halloween costume or supplement all the other festive garb you're wearing. So peep ahead for ghosts, ghouls, monsters, pumpkins and cats (just to name a few) and get inspired to rock some Halloween nail designs this October.
