Happy Halloween week! Today, just for you, I have my first Halloween-themed nail art manicure! I have seen a TON of Jack Skellington manis and I just adore The Nightmare Before Christmas, so I wanted to recreate that look. I think I first saw it somewhere on Pinterest, but I honestly don’t remember the original source. But I loved the mani from the first time I saw it, aaaand it fits in perfectly with October’s NCC theme of stripes!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween!
I just realized that I forgot to paint in Jack’s little skeleton nose! Oops! But I think it still looks like him, don’t you? Even if it doesn’t 100% look like him, it still looks like a skeleton face.
I also realized while I was cropping these pics, my cuticles and fingers are RAGGED. Gross! I’m sorry for subjecting you to that! I went to my college homecoming weekend (my 9 year reunion and my husband’s 10th!), and we had a few bonfires and other shenanigans that weren’t terribly kind on my fingers. Plus I forgot all my nourishing cuticle/ hand products! So anyways, forgive me! I’m going to put my hands in beauty boot camp and they’ll be pretty again soon.
Jack Skellington manicure. PS – doesn’t my watermark fit in well with a Halloween theme?!
For this mani, I used my amazing Rica Blackout & Whiteout with some nail vinyls and nail art brushes. I know I say it all the time, but I love love love Rica’s Whiteout & Blackout!! They are the best quality white and black polishes I’ve found – super duper opaque and creamy and perfect for stamping.
So what do you think? What’s your mani plan for Halloween? I have a few more looks this week for your Halloween-loving eyes!
Check out the other striped manis from my NCC ladies:
Oh my gosh, I love this!! I think it does look like him, I thought that was who it was before I even clicked on the entry, so good job! 😀

Thank you!! I love a simple mani 🙂
That’s so pretty! Very simple mani and yet very effective imo!
Thank you so much!! I think black and white really go over well in Halloween manis!
SHUT. UP!!! I love this!!! Nightmare Before Christmas always will be one of my favorites ( next to James and the Giant Peach ) and sans nose it still looks great!!! I’ve heard great things about WhiteOut and BlackOut and now I think I just might buy them!!!! Sounds like you had a great weekend, psssshhhh I didn’t even notice your cuticles! Mine need to go on a bootcamp too!
Haha I’m glad you like!! I looove Nightmare Before Christmas too – that and Hocus Pocus are my Halloween faves. Ooh James and the Giant Peach is a great movie! YES you need WhiteOut and BlackOut – they’re the absolute best white & black polishes I’ve found!
this is adorable! This is the kind of Halloween look I love!
Thank you Hannah!! I love me a simple Halloween look too 🙂
I’ve got no Halloween mani plans, but I love the black and white! NBC is too scary for me haha
Haha, I’m such a wimp when it comes to scary movies too. I can handle Nightmare Before Christmas, but that’s the scariest I’ll go – Hocus Pocus is more my speed 😉
I really like this look for Halloween nails! The black and white looks great!
Thanks so much! It was super simple, which made me happy 🙂
Great job! This totally looks like Jack! I have a few manis lined up for Halloween to finish out the week!
This is the one halloween themed that I’ve been wanting to do! Your Jack is still recognizable even without his nose 😉
You should do it! It is super simple and fun!
This is right up my alley! Simple but perfect!
Thanks! It’s my favorite kind of mani – simple 🙂
Love it! And your Jack looks actually kinda scary without the nose 😉
Thank you! Ooh – yeah, maybe it’s a combo of Voldemort and Jack! That’d definitely be scary!
