Charming pumpkin designs don’t have to say fall out loud. They look just as good a little bit under the radar, some might even say understated.
I’m always a fan of any manicure that brings pastel back. It’s always so Coco Chanel and art-deco.
Those shades paired with the abstract pumpkins are beyond flawless. I’m obsessed.
6. Glittery Pumpkin Nails
I know that every shimmer mani isn’t necessarily festive or even Christmas-themed, but that’s not going to stop me from saying it, or including it in this list.
Moving on, just let me draw your attention to the bulging-effect pumpkins that are almost 3D thanks to some genius nail art tricks.
The flowers are such a fun and adorable addition but not entirely necessary. It’s up to you.

Halloween doesn’t always have to be loud. Sometimes, the lightest shades are the most powerful, and really, you can’t get any more dialed-pack than this perfectly pale shade of orange.
Even the artsy nails are quite toned-down and are more of a carefully-executed beauty than a loud one.
It’s quite vintage-chic in a way, almost Audrey Hepburn-esque and I can get behind that.

Think of these spooky pumpkin nails as Halloween distilled onto your nails. It’s like a spooky scream of Halloween, the seasonal power is so strong here.
