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.

Every year since I started doing Halloween nail art, I've done some version of bats stamped over a gradient. It's honestly one of my favorite designs and I feel like there's no limit to how many completely different versions of this design you can put together. This year, I decided that I wanted to do something a little different from previous years, so I put together a pastel rainbow gradient as my base and I'm obsessed!

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!

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.

I feel like this is definitely the year of sheet ghost designs for me - and I am 100% not mad about it. There are so many things that you can do with sheet ghosts, from cute and playful to really spooky and scary. I actually picked up the stamping plate I used for this design - Clear Jelly Stamper CjS-H-78 The Ghost - specifically with this design in mind and it came together so quickly and easily that I found myself wondering why it's taken me so long to get into layered stamping.

Sometimes I get in my head about layered stamping, convincing myself that I'm no good at it or that it'll just be stressful and I should do something else. With today's mani, I will admit to almost talking myself out of even trying a few times before I finally gave it a go and promptly fell in love with it. I think layered stamping is a lot more forgiving than it might seem and as long as you take your time and pay attention, you can get absolutely amazing results. I am madly in love with how this design turned out!

When I was planning out the nail art for this year's marathon of Halloween nails, one of the designs I kept seeing all over Pinterest was this really simple design featuring a sheet ghost and some orange flowers. All of the designs I saw were from professional nail techs and were hand painted, but I really wanted to figure out how I could make my own version of this design using stamping and I'm honestly beyond thrilled with how it came together in the end!

I feel like this might be the year of the sheet ghosts for me, if I'm being honest. So many of the designs I found myself wanting to put together for this year's Halloween mani's feature various different sheet ghost designs. For today's mani, I wanted to go a little less cute and a little more creepy than a lot of the other designs I plan on putting together and I think it came together really beautifully!

WELL. It's surely been a while since I posted on the blog - I've still been posting consistently over on Instagram @pblnails - but when I started getting my Halloween nails ready, I knew I had to post them here as well. Halloween nail season is my absolute favorite and I have some really exciting designs ready to post here this year, but I wanted to start with something fiery and fun and spooky!

So without further ado - keep reading for more!

Being that my creativity has been feeling a bit sapped recently, I've been a little less active here on the blog, but I'm hoping that with the days getting longer I'll be feeling a bit more inspired and start posting a bit more frequently again. For today's mani, I kept it pretty simple with a style of mani that I personally really, really love. I paired some super exciting new gel polish with monochromatic abstract stamping and I love it!

I have to admit, I'm currently in my annual nail art inspo slump. It always happens after the holiday season when I'm sapped both from all of the life living that happens at this time of year but also from having put so much of my creative energy into cranking out holiday mani's. I will admit to a few distinctly failed designs before I landed on this one, which was sort of like a lightbulb and has definitely ignited some fresh inspiration in me!

I did a lot of planning for this year's Christmas nails, but today's mani wasn't at all planned. I actually saw an absolutely adorable mani from @lindseysbeautylounge1 on Instagram and immediately wanted to put together my own version of it. There was just something about those tiny images right at the tip that just completely pulled me in and I knew that with the help of a couple of Clear Jelly Stamper plates, I could definitely put together a version that referenced the inspiration mani but felt like me. And I literally had this on my nails within hours of seeing it in my Reels feed.

I told myself I wasn't going to lean as heavily on snowflakes with this year's holiday nails and yet I can't seem to help myself. I just LOVE snowflake nails. Today's mani is another recreation from holiday season's past, one that I've actually wanted to recreate for the past couple of years but hadn't gotten around to. This year, I changed up the color story pretty significantly using a stunning reflective glitter polish from Whats Up Nails as my base and I am OBSESSED. There's a spot in my house that has the best light for making polish pop and I spent more time standing under that light admiring this mani than I might like to admit.

One of my personal Must Do holiday mani's has always been a nordic star sweater design. I'm not even sure how many years in a row I've done this style of design, but it has definitely been several. In my humble opinion, a nordic star design is peak Christmas sweater - and very often not even ugly. For this mani, I pulled out one of my all time favorite nail polishes, which I am now using as sparingly as possible as I'm pretty sure it has been discontinued, and paired it with a couple of different nordic star images to create a new version of this design. And, of course, I'm in love!

I have to admit, today's mani was a bit of a saga to put together. Not because of any of the products or anything like that, but because I went into it without a clear plan and it sort of went off the rails in the middle, but I think I saved it in the end. Moral of the story - have a plan. In the end, I'm really happy with how this mani turned out and how adorable my little Santa ended up being.
