This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Ohio U chapter.

While you might not know exactly how you’re dressing up for Halloween, have you thought about your nails? And no, I’m not talking about going as a bottle of nail polish for Halloween, but to complete or compliment your costume! Can’t wear a costume due to class or work? Look no further, and paint your nails. Halloween nails are also an easy way to be subtly festive throughout the month of October and not just on Halloween. Here are 8 fun and easy nail art designs to rock this October:
