When it comes to nail trends, they tend to run the gamut. From elegant, minimalist options like milk-bath nails and beige tones to over-the-top maximalist designs such as junk nails, there’s a wide range of manicure styles to choose from, depending on your preferences. With Oct. 31 fast approaching, many have already started planning this year’s costumes and the accompanying Halloween nail art. And what better way to get into the spooky spirit than by drawing inspiration from the whimsical chaos of one of Tim Burton’s most iconic and beloved horror comedy franchises, Beetlejuice?
