Cosmic Devil Eyes

The image shows a close-up of a hand with elaborately designed nails. The nails feature a mix of solid black polish and a shimmery, dark blue polish with a cat-eye effect, resembling the eye of a feline. The nails are long and coffin-shaped. The hand rests on a sheet of vintage-looking paper printed with musical notes and lyrics. This set is designed by MelodySusie's professional nail technician.

A mysterious vertical pupil meets the midnight-blue cat-eye glow, creating a manicure that captures Halloween’s haunting spirit with an alluring sense of mystery.

Shimmering Pumpkin

The image features a manicured hand adorned with Halloween-themed nail art resting amongst festive decorations. The nails are long and pointed, with various designs including a pumpkin, a witch's hat, and abstract golden patterns. A golden ring with a red gem is worn on one of the fingers. This set is designed by MelodySusie's professional nail technician.

Starting with a soft, light cat-eye base, this manicure features adorable pumpkins delicately painted on the tips. The combination of playful details and chic elegance makes it a perfect Halloween look for adding a festive touch to your nails.

3D Ghost

The image displays a hand with long, almond-shaped nails, some adorned with a classic white-tipped French manicure, while two showcase whimsical ghost nail art. One ghost nail features a pearlescent, almost ethereal base with tiny black eyes, creating a playful yet elegant spooky effect. The other ghost nail has the same base color and white tip with ghost face. This set is designed by MelodySusie's professional nail technician.

A 3D ghost may be a familiar sight in Halloween nail art, but paired with pearlescent chrome powder, it feels fresh and refined. The chrome finish brings luminous depth and a soft, elegant glow, making this design both playful and sophisticated.

Chrome Spider Web

The image shows a close-up of a hand featuring a Halloween-themed nail art design. The nails are medium almond-shaped, each showcasing a unique metallic look — one with a solid reflective silver finish, another with a white chrome spiderweb pattern, a third with stitched details resembling a sewn-up wound, and the last featuring a simple chrome ghost design. This set is designed by MelodySusie's professional nail technician.

A crisp white base layered with dreamy blue chrome powder creates a luminous, enchanting effect. Paired with a delicate heart-shaped spider web, the design feels both intricate and striking, bringing a chic and whimsical twist to Halloween nails.
