Pumpkins
This vegetable is the most important symbol of Halloween, so from the very beginning, consider this orange manicure. Pumpkins can be styled in absolutely different ways - you can modestly decorate just one finger, or you can paint all your nails, you can make them sinister, or you can make them cute. If you want to collect a lot of compliments and admiring glances from October 31 to November 1, carve a pumpkin and also get a pumpkin manicure.
Hang Nguyen
The signature style of this master is drawings with a thin brush on top of a transparent base. Confirmation is already in the feed: a skillful bloody drawing with the heroes of the thriller “The Squid Game”. Even on Halloween, Hang suggests choosing monochrome, which is very convenient; you only need two universal varnishes, black and white. The black cat and the month are made so neatly that they rather resemble stickers on nails.

Black cat
A black cat is the main harbinger of misfortune. Be careful if he crosses your path! Therefore, it can be considered an ideal Halloween companion, especially if you have a mischievous witch costume where cats are your best friends. You can depict funny “peeping” animals, and if you want a more classic option, add a cat to a black jacket.
Halloween manicure: popular prints 2022
Monochrome manicure, even on pointed nails, is the choice of young ladies who try to attract the attention of others as little as possible. But if you love to be the center of attention, then unusual and original Halloween nail art is just made for you. They will help show your individuality and subtle sense of style, inherent in all avid fashionistas.
Web
If you remembered about a manicure at the last minute, don't worry, you don't have to waste time drawing pumpkins or ghosts, draw a spider's web! This is the easiest, fastest and least provocative way to decorate your nails for Halloween. A black cobweb on a white background looks beautiful, and vice versa - black nails on a white one.
Halloween manicure: photo ideas for a scary design
Regarding holiday manicure, there are 2 opposing opinions. Some believe that Halloween is a great opportunity to decorate your nails to the maximum with the most unimaginable prints that we cannot afford in everyday life. Others believe that the unusual shape of the nails, painted with a single-color varnish, gives a special flavor to the image.
Blood stains
The creepiest image, in our opinion, will be the image of drops of blood; this design looks especially bright on long and sharp nails, just like those of predators. And if you want to be truly original, make your index and little fingers almond-shaped with red nail polish on the tips, and your middle and ring fingers square. Doesn't remind you of anything? Yes, vampire teeth!
Melanie Graves
The New York-based blogger is a big fan of subtle designs. Even Melanie's Halloween manicure looks cute. She drew the thematic design on top of a transparent coating - there are many more small elements here than usual, making the process much more painstaking. For the color base of another design, she chose olive and pink shades of polish, on which a smiling ghost and a spider's web appeared.

Ghosts
This is also one of the most important symbols of Halloween, and its biggest advantage is that it is the easiest to perform. If you want a suit, throw a sheet over yourself, and if you want a manicure, apply some white polish, smear it, draw some eyes and you're done! You can make stylish little ghosts, you can decorate each nail with one big one, or you can also add cats and pumpkins so that Casper doesn’t get bored, and there is real variety on the nails. Halloween only comes once a year after all, open up to the fullest!

Manicure with cobwebs and spiders
A contrasting manicure in black and white with a web and a spider looks very beautiful and attractive. Anyone can cope with the creation of such a design. Cover the nail with basic varnish and use a thin brush to draw even lines of the web.
A spectacular design with eyeballs with capillaries bursting from horror will be a real sensation at a party. This design is more complex and it is not always possible to do it yourself. If you have experience in decorating nails, then this nail art is not a problem for you. As a last resort, contact a professional technician.
In Halloween manicure, it is permissible to use almost all decorative means - badges, scary stickers, small chains, spikes. The more original and unusual your nail art looks, the better.
There is a little witch inside every woman, and Halloween is a great opportunity to show your qualities to the fullest, stunning those around you with an extravagant appearance. The whole image should amaze, terrify and shock the guests of the holiday, so that they treat you with trepidation and caution in everyday life.
The bats
No match for black cats, bats scare not only their image in culture, but also in real life! Since there aren't many options for styling these animals, play with the background! They will stand out especially brightly against one of the symbolic colors of All Saints' Day - purple. If the party is planned in the dark, draw bats and other scary things on a neon background, then your nails will definitely not go unnoticed!
Cat manicure for Halloween
The cat is one of the most mysterious animals that the fair sex sympathizes with. They have long been given special significance; it was believed that cats are messengers of the Prince of Darkness.
Halloween is a great opportunity to depict these damn attractive and cute creatures on your nails. The cat looks most impressive on a plain background, French and moon manicure.
If you want to get a truly scary manicure, then be sure to draw a cat in black. The design will turn out not just scary, but also cute and graceful.
Other options
It all just begins with pumpkins, cats and bats. Other popular holiday attributes are skeletons, which will look funny on your nails. And if you prefer something more elegant, no problem, draw a skeleton in the style of Frida Kahlo!
You can create your own merry team of monsters and combine Frankenstein's monster, a mummy, a ghost and a vampire on one hand! With such protectors, you will definitely be safe on this ominous night.
Eyes floating on the nails also look very ominous, and at the same time not too provocative. An undeniable plus is that you can do them at the last minute before going out to the celebration - a drop of white polish and a drop of color on top. The eye is ready!
If you want something more classic and without a pattern, just paint your nails either orange or purple and you will fit perfectly into the holiday atmosphere. Do you want something that won't get boring in an instant? Black and white stripes look appropriate enough for Halloween and everyday wear.
Throughout culture, witches have always been depicted with incredibly long nails, so you can work on long nails instead of nail art. A beautiful red or black jacket and themed accessories will be enough for an atmospheric and not too flashy manicure.
Halloween manicure: popular patterns and colors
The theme of the holiday dictates special rules for decorating your nails. The most common “guests” of ceremonial manicures are images of spiders, witches, vampires, forest monsters and other frightening characters. Ideally, the nail design should be in harmony with the main image. Halloween nails are rarely painted in cheerful colors; most often they are covered with dark shades of varnish.
The symbolism of the holiday should be manifested in everything and the best place for this is nails. They depict bats, streaks of blood, lanterns, and of course, a pumpkin, without which no Halloween celebration is complete.
Park Eun Kyung
The artist loves to use unusual stickers and decorations in her works - this time she resorted to this particular technique. The multi-colored festive manicure on the nails of the artist himself makes you want to look at it - there is the Ghostbusters emblem, and an ominous pumpkin with bats against the backdrop of the night sky.
