Guess what y'all, Halloween is around the corner.

You have your costumes already planned out. You have all your hairstyles and makeup set. You're basically prepared for all of the Halloween festivities to come. Or...are you?

Have you gotten a manicure recently? If no, and you have money like that, take your ideas to your manicurist and they'll take care of the rest. But if you answered no and you're absolutely broke as heck, you can use your own nail polishes or buy your own to create your own fancy Halloween manicure without breaking the bank! The best place to start is by ensuring you have these basic spooky colors.

1. Black.

Black is the quintessential, original and best Halloween color of all time. It doesn't just work for Halloween, it works for any occasion: a girl's day out, a funeral, or even to your family dinner. Even if you just want to paint your nails black and call it a day, your nails will still look the part.

2. Orange.

For symbolizing pumpkins, cats, and all things autumn, orange is a must-have for your spooky manicure! Stripes, polka dots, houndstooth, checkerboard, or even leaves; no matter which design you use, your manicure will be delightful with the addition of the color orange.

3. White.

White works best for all the little ghosties and other spooky things you want to draw on your nails. If you're also into the strictly black-and-white look, you can draw out your designs onto already painted black nails. Not only will your nails look classic, but they'll also be the talk of the town!

4 Glow-in-the-dark.

Do you want to take your awesome manicure to the next level? Incorporate some glow-in-the-dark to your design! When the lights go out, everyone will be dazzled by your glow-in-the-dark stars that illuminate the black skies.

5. Grey.

Grey is a color that is not only perfect for Halloween but also very underrated and unknown. You can use grey to create gravestones or old churches; or even some bats in the sky. The possibilities with this one are endless!

6. Red.

Red is a beautiful and seductive color you can incorporate into your Halloween manicure. If you're feeling vampy (no pun intended), you can use it to symbolize the blood of your victims.
