Best Halloween Nail Polish Colours

Create Your Spookiest Nail Art Looks With the Best Halloween Nail Polish Colours

Dressing up your nails takes on a completely different meaning in October. With Halloween coming up, it's time to shift your Pinterest boards to include dark and moody hues.

Celebrities have already begun getting into the spirit of the holiday with their recent manicures. Khloé Kardashian revealed extralong nails painted with a dark yet glossy hue that emitted what she called "Vamp Vibes," and Heidi Klum's candy apple red manicure was created with a nail polish colour that might remind you of the treats (and tricks) that come with Halloween.

To find the most popular — and even unexpected — nail colours for the spooky season, we tapped celebrity nail artist Elle (who has created looks for Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez, and Jessica Chastain) to weigh in. Check out her picks, ahead.

Best Halloween Nail Polish: Rich Metallics and Duo-Chromes

"Rich metallic purples and duo-chrome blues and greens create an unexpected look," Elle said.

She named the LeChat Dare to Wear Metallux Nail Polish in Hypnotic ($12) polish as one of her favourites for its blue to green shift.

Best Halloween Nail Polish: Pumpkin Orange

You can't go wrong with a pumpkin hue for Halloween month. Elle loves the LeChat's Perfect Match Mood polish in Pumpkin Spice (which is available only in salons) for this look. "It transitions from pumpkin orange to a faint caramel shade depending on your body temp [and glows] like a jack-o-lantern or the eyes of a black cat."

Best Halloween Nail Polish: Candy Apple Red

Heidi Klum's candy apple red manicure is both sweet for Halloween and a trend that one expert foresees sticking around through the entire Fall season.

"Red, burgundy, berry — these deep shades are emblematic of Fall and represent a sophisticated twist on quintessential bright red nail polish while still being feminine and classic," Nail expert and brand owner Jin Soon Choi previously told POPSUGAR. "They are timeless colours that cross from classic to modern and feminine to bold — making them perfect for all Autumn occasions."

Recreate the nail look using the Butter London Come to Bed Red ($15) or one of the below options.
