Halloween nails are one of the easiest ways to play with color. A fresh set takes an evening, costs far less than a salon visit, and comes off again when the season ends.
The hard part is picking a set. Beetles alone has a lot of Halloween kits, and they look similar at a glance. So here are four of them side by side: how many colors each one has, what kind of finish it is, and what comes in the box. I only list what each product’s title says. For bottle size, price and anything else, check the Amazon listing before you buy.

Beetles Halloween Box Cat Eye Gel Nail Polish Set, Witch Potion
This is a six-color magnetic gel set with a witch-potion theme. The title says it comes with Halloween nail stickers and a magnet. The stickers are the useful part if you like a finished look without freehand nail art. A magnet and a few stickers can turn plain color into something that looks planned.
Beetles Cat Eye Gel Nail Polish Set, 20 Colors Halloween Purple
The biggest set of the four. Twenty colors, in a mix of cat eye, color-changing and glitter finishes, plus a base coat, glossy and matte top coats, and a magnet. If you want to change your nails every few days all October, this is the one with the most room to experiment. It’s also the one to check carefully on the listing, because a big set means the most to read before you buy.
Beetles Halloween Gel Nail Polish Set, Halloween Spell
This set is described as fall and Halloween gel polish in pumpkin red, black, green and purple shades. The title calls it soak-off UV LED gel for salon, home DIY or holiday manicures. The listing title doesn’t give a bottle count, so look at the product page to see how many you get.
Beetles Halloween Cat Eye Gel Nail Polish Set, Dusk Radiance
Six cat eye and shimmer shades with a magnet included. The theme leans toward evening and fall colors, so it suits you if you’d rather keep your nails moody than overtly spooky.
How to choose
- Want the most variety? The 20-color set has the largest range of the four.
- Want a smaller set and a ready-made theme? Witch Potion and Dusk Radiance are both six-color sets with a magnet.
- Want stickers included? According to its title, Witch Potion is the one that comes with Halloween nail stickers.
- Want to see the color range before you commit? Open the Halloween Spell listing and check the swatch photos, since its title lists shade families but not a count.
Before you buy
Gel polish cures under a UV or LED lamp. None of the four titles say a lamp is included, so if you don’t already own one, you’ll need to buy it separately. Check each listing for what’s actually in the box, and compare bottle sizes and prices there, since those can change.
FAQ
What does “cat eye” mean for gel polish?
Cat eye polish contains tiny magnetic particles. You hold a magnet near the nail while the polish is wet, and the particles line up to create a shimmering streak that seems to shift as you move your hand.
Do I need a UV or LED lamp?
Yes. Gel polish only hardens when it’s cured under a lamp. The titles of these four sets describe them as UV or LED soak-off gel, and none of them mention a lamp being included.
How do I take gel polish off?
The listings describe these as soak-off gel, which means it’s removed by soaking rather than filing it all away. Follow the instructions on the product page for the exact method.
Which one should a beginner pick?
A six-color set is a simple place to start, since you have fewer shades to choose between. If you already know you’ll use a lot of colors, the 20-color set gives you more to work with.
