I have to admit, it sort of feels like it's not Halloween if I haven't done some sort of haunted house or graveyard silhouette nails. Honestly, they've always been some of my favorite Halloween nail designs and I still get excited to put one together every year.

I really, really wanted to do some skull flowers this year - which you can check out in this post - but I also really wanted to do some skull cherries. There's just something that's insanely adorable about them, in my opinion, and this was yet another reason that I picked up the Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-H-100 Mystic Hallows stamping plate. I swear, this is just the plate that keeps on giving at this point and I am very much here for it.

There is definitely something to be said for keeping it very, very simple with your Halloween nails and just applying a full cover spiderweb image, don't you think? Simple, effective, and you can pretty much create any vibe you want based on what you do with the base polish/design. For this mani, I combined smoky shades of blue with my favorite full cover spiderweb image to create this simple design with a surprising amount of visual interest.

I have a tendency to put off reverse stamping because I convince myself that it's very difficult and will stress me out. Because of this, this mani was one of the first that I conceived when I was planning this year's Halloween nails and is one of the later ones I actually put together on the nails. And, like always, it was much less stressful than I convinced myself it was going to be and the final product is SO worth it.

I feel like every year I tend to lean heavily into one specific type of design - in previous years, it has often been spiderwebs - but this year the winner is definitely sheet ghosts. I've done them creepy and playful and even, I think, pretty. But now it's time for full on cuteness. The undeniable cuteness of the sheet ghosts on the Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-H100 Mystic Hallows Stamping Plate is just absolutely perfect to pair with some flowers and some stars and a playful gradient base.

I've been absolutely loving the Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-H100 Mystic Hallows plate for this year's Halloween nails and I've admittedly gone a little mad with power creating different designs from it. The cool thing is that it's such a versatile stamping plate and the number of designs you can create from it feels absolutely endless. I wish all plates had this much variety and worked so seamlessly. Anyway, I'm still getting my bearings when it comes to layered stamping, so my lines aren't quite perfect on this one, but I still love it so much!

I don't often do mani's where all of my nails are the same these days, but when I do, I make sure that I have an interesting base to go along with it - mostly! For this mani, I decided to do a style of gradient that I'm not sure I've ever attempted before and then paired it with some really crisp, simple Halloween stamping that I think manages to be impactful despite its simplicity.

Did I buy the Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-H-100 Mystic Hallows stamping plate because I wanted to do some version of this mani? I did. I mean, at least in part. I've actually wanted to do a fun, girly skull flowers for the past couple of years but I only got my hands on this plate recently - so it was time! I think there's something to be said for going for girly, fun Halloween nails over the sort of classic spooky designs that might feel a bit more on the nose. For me, this is definitely the vibe I'm into at the moment.

For this design, I combined two of the most popular mani's I've ever posted together to create a sort of... super mani! Earlier this year, I posted this rainbow mani that quickly became one of the most popular designs I posted all year. So, of course, when it came time to start planning Halloween nail art, I had an inkling that I wanted to use that design as the base so I decided to mash it up with this design to create something new and I'm obsessed! I feel like this could almost be a sort of signature type of design, since it also employs my much loved opal base.
