Features of Halloween manicure
Classic colors for Halloween manicures include black, white, red and orange. In this case, other shades can be used. The most important thing is that the nails have a suitable thematic design.

As for drawings, pumpkins, skulls, images of ghosts, spiders, zombies, etc. are best suited for this holiday.
Chic design ideas from manicurists
If you dream of appearing as the queen of a holiday party, then you cannot do without the help of professionals. On long nails, nail art masters create real miniature masterpieces, expressive, bright, and richly decorated. For example, how do you like this addition to the image of a sexy villain? The ultra-long claws themselves look intimidatingly predatory, and the combination of red and black adds drama to the look.
That night, the charming vampire does not even hide her occupation. Her nails are decorated with droplets of the victim's blood and a frightening grin. Do you want to be irresistible and deadly for a short time? Then the next manicure option is created especially for you.
Fans of comics or horror-style cartoons were not left without attention either. For them, manicure designers have prepared nail art with characters from their favorite works.
If you were attracted by the image of the deceased girl from Tim Burton’s musical “The Dead Bride,” then your outfit is something like a wedding dress, certainly with a veil or a lush wreath on your hair. As for manicure, you can choose from several suitable options. One of them is shown in the photo below.
In addition, floral motifs, only made in eerie burgundy and black tones, are quite suitable for the deceased bride. These could be roses or lilies with bloody droplets frozen on their petals, skulls decorated with wreaths. Images of skeletons or cemetery crypts would fit perfectly into the theme.
Plots on the theme “Night of the Dead” are one of the Halloween trends.
Simple manicure for Halloween

Black nails will look impressive, so you should buy a shiny dark nail polish. It can complement the image of a witch and will go well with a costume of evil spirits. For Halloween, long, sharp marigolds will be popular. If you don’t wear these in everyday life, use overhead ones, which can be easily removed immediately after the party. As an option, simply paint over the edges of the nail plate with flesh-colored varnish, visually making it sharp. After all, the party will be in twilight, so this trick can easily work.
Short black nails will fit well into the image of a zombie or any ghost. If you plan to create the image of a spectacular, glamorous witch, then a black manicure can be complemented with rhinestones, sparkles and other decor.

As a rule, such a manicure is performed as follows:

- After it dries well, several arc-shaped lines are drawn in place of the hole with black varnish. The result is something like a moon manicure with a protrusion in the middle. This will give the pumpkin an outline.
- Using the same black varnish on an orange base, terrifying faces with a nose, eyes and a terrible smile are drawn. It's okay if they turn out uneven.
- To make the pumpkin drawing complete, all that remains is to paint the tail on top with green varnish.
You can decorate 1-2 nails with a pumpkin or paint it on each nail. However, they do not necessarily have to look scary. The festive pumpkin may smile funny or even wink. It can be combined with other holiday attributes (cobwebs, skulls, etc.) in one manicure.
Options in different shades
Halloween nails can be done in any shade, and you can also use successful and fashionable color combinations.

Dark colors
Muted dark shades of nail polish remain trendy in the fall-winter season. A rich dark green (emerald, marsh) color can be used as a background for pumpkins, ghosts, and potions. The wine tone of Marsala is a deeper variation of red, making it perfect for a creative yet understated bloody manicure.
Orange with dark
All shades of orange in a Halloween manicure are best combined with red and green.
A classic of horror is the combination of orange tones with black and gray colors.
Gold
A true hit of the autumn-winter season are nails with a gold pattern on a brown, black or dark blue background. The technique will look especially impressive on a glossy base with the contours of the design drawn with sparkles or golden sand.
Trends
The most fashionable combinations in nail art are considered to be a combination of a milky and matte black base with patterns in the form of skulls, marble patterns, abstraction and gradient. Transitions of shades can be golden or covered with foil.
Nails painted specifically for Halloween will be a logical addition to your holiday look. The most popular colors in nail design are black, red, and orange shades.
You can use stickers, artistic drawings, foil, stones and other elements in decoration. A combination of different techniques is allowed. In order for the designs to look advantageous on the nails, it is better that for the holiday they have a pointed shape and sufficient length.
Manicure with a cat
It is the black cat that has always been considered the most mysterious and even mystical animal. She has long been credited with various supernatural abilities. Many people still get upset if a black cat passes in front of them on the road. And some even prefer to change their trajectory after this.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this cute animal has also become a symbol of the holiday. But, be that as it may, cats turn out to be more cute and funny than terrifying and frightening. Therefore, girls often choose them to decorate their holiday manicure along with pumpkins.
Solid new nail art for Halloween
The colors red and black can be considered the rightful masters of Halloween. Without these shades, no holiday design is used. These deep colors look very impressive on natural or long false nails with a sharp shape. Some fashionistas cover their nails with a single color, choosing classic black or rich, red shades. Some people combine these two colors together. In any case, such options will suitably merge with your image of a vampire or witch, and will look intimidating.
Halloween is not officially accepted in our country and is not a holiday. But for many, this is a good reason to throw a “terrible” costume party and try on an unforgettable creepy and scary outfit. And for fashionistas there is another additional opportunity to show off original manicure ideas and emphasize your individuality!
Manicure with a skull
Classic Halloween designs include the image of a skull. It can be depicted on one accent nail or decorate the entire handle. This design is often complemented by all sorts of decorative elements (rhinestones, sequins, sparkles, foil, etc.).
Usually the skull is usually depicted in white on a black background. But it will look much more attractive if its image is applied to a crimson or other bright base.
Plus, it doesn't have to be dark and scary. Your crock is capable of smiling slyly and sweetly or even winking. The manicure can be complemented with images of flowers, bows or other cute things.
Witch paraphernalia
Here the scope for imagination is unlimited: brooms, hats, chains. Everything your heart desires. The base background is chosen to be bright and rich, the lighter the better. You can use any decor: sparkles, rhinestones, foil.
Manicure with a bat
These creatures are also capable of being both cute and evil. At the same time, several completely different mice can be combined in one manicure. You can apply the image of a bat to any nail design. They go well with a French manicure or an ombre manicure.
Spiders and web
Another characteristic element of the holiday will be spiders and cobwebs. You can draw them yourself using a regular gel pen or black acrylic paints. The cobweb can appear on one or all nails. This design will look spectacular on a moon or French manicure.
Funny pumpkins
The pumpkin theme is most common in Halloween designs. The base color is chosen in such a tone that the orange pumpkin does not blend into the background. You can use gradient and different colors. The pumpkin is depicted symbolically: eyes and a smile or the whole pumpkin. If the design is schematic, then it can be used on all nails. But it is better to make an artistic image on one, and decorate the rest with flame. Since the main background itself is bright: from red to mint, do not use sparkles and rhinestones. They can overload the design and look awkward. You can choose any nail shape for this manicure. But the most suitable for such a manicure are square, soft square and oval.
Eyes and mummies
The image of mummies is more reminiscent of an old video game character than something truly scary. Therefore, it is worth using their drawing for those who want to have fun and not frighten others.
Eyes will look original and cute on your nails. It’s very easy to make such a drawing, but it looks stylish and appropriate for such a party.
Which manicure to choose for a Halloween party? First of all, you should proceed from your image and intentions - to scare or amuse your friends.
Gothic
For a Gothic manicure, you can limit yourself to a dark background and painting. Moreover, the drawing should respond to and reveal the Gothic theme. Monograms, if used as a design, can be supplemented with an image of a flame. Gothic manicure loves rhinestones, broths, foil, rubbing. The more shine, the better. The coating can be made either matte or glossy. But the shape is obligatory - it’s a stiletto, an almond or a pike. The length must be appropriate: as long as possible.
