Main themes for design: pattern, color, shape
Themes for Halloween manicure are familiar: frightening, gloomy, associated with the otherworldly. The main areas are pumpkins, spiders and webs, cats, eyes, witch attributes, zombies, bats and much more.
The color scheme is also not particularly conducive to airiness and tenderness, but it can be not only in dark colors. Juicy, fluorescent colors are also quite suitable: orange, red, green, blue.
- The background can be made using the gradient technique, plain, glossy or matte.
- Drawings can be made using airbrushing, stickers, stamps, stencils, or drawing with a brush.
- Everything is used as a design: foil, rhinestones, glitters and much more.
- Any nail length and shape. But stiletto, almond, lance are preferable. They evoke associations with “witch” nails, and therefore look much more advantageous compared to other forms of manicure.
Orange pumpkins
The main attribute of the scariest holiday of the year is pumpkins carved in the shape of scary or funny faces.
It is quite clear that the brightest shade for such a manicure will be orange. It can be combined with black or white. You can draw funny pumpkins even against a nude background or French manicure. The simplest option: draw orange pumpkins, and use black varnish or manicure paint with a thin brush to paint as if the eyes and mouth were cut out. You can do the opposite, and it will be even more interesting: on a black background of the nail, draw yellow-orange cut-out mouths and eyes, as if they are illuminated from the inside by fire. There are many options, look at our photo selection to choose the most interesting one.
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.
Unusual nail shape
If you want to amaze others not only with the design, but also with the shape of your nails, and you just recently cut yours, don’t despair. If you have short nails, you can lengthen them using special tips and even unusually shaped nails. Another undeniable advantage of such nails is that they are immediately sold with themed designs, so all you need to go to the party is to attach them to your hands.
If you want something extravagant, choose tips that resemble the claws of a cat, a witch, or some other monster.
Spider theme
For spiders and webs, it is best to use black, white and dark blue backgrounds. The web can be drawn on all fingers, but spiders can be drawn on one finger. But the insect can also be divided: draw one half on one finger, the second on the other. Then, by connecting your fingers, the bun will become solid. To decorate an insect or depict dew drops on a cobweb, rhinestones or the “drop” technique are used. There are no restrictions on the shape, even “beveled”.
Black spiders and cobwebs
In principle, both spiders and webs can be any color.
On a black background they can be painted with a white contrasting shade. But spiders look better in black on a light background. Another interesting option is to use gel glitter with small sparkles. Using gold or silver glitter, you can draw a spider web on a dark background. This design will be both creepy and glamorous, the glitter will attract attention and make the manicure even more festive. Spiders may not be scary at all, but cheerful and funny. Even children will love this nail art if you are planning a family Halloween party.
Witch cat
What would Halloween be without cats? Cats are a great option for drawings. Moreover, they are combined with any directions. For example, a drawing of a cat is made on one hand, and cat eyes on the other. It is better to depict a cat schematically, in silhouette. You can complement the design on other nails with cat paws, noses, and ears. Any background, there are no special requirements here.
By the way! Ideas for what to wear for Halloween are here!

Bats
A chic design option for a Halloween manicure. The basic background is dark, preferably in blue tones. Airbrush based on a gradient looks especially advantageous. Then the effect of the night sky is created, the moon and a bat in its background. You can use glitter as decoration to create a star effect.
Gradient
Stylish ombre is also perfect for creating nail art for Halloween. The result will be a spectacular and at the same time quite intimidating design, especially if you choose the right shades of red to create it. Experts recommend using a nude palette as the basis for this design, while to decorate the tips of the nails with a stylish transition, you will have to choose several colors, ranging from dark burgundy to a lighter red tone.
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.
Funny zombies
Zombies, graveyards, crosses are a great theme for Halloween manicure. Zombies can be drawn on any background. Cemeteries and crosses look best on dark, and the most interesting thing for them is to create a gradient or airbrush.
Superheroes
Comic book characters are one of the favorite Halloween nail designs for girls all over the world. After all, during this holiday, even good girls want to be like evil characters or, conversely, feel like a superhero. If your costume for All Saints' Day is associated with one of these characters, you can easily depict it on your nails, making the image more concise and complete. A photo of Catwoman or Supergirl would be just right.
Skeletons and ghosts
They mostly use a “cartoon” style. The base coat can be anything. The drawing can be done on one nail, or on all of them at once. It's whatever your heart desires. For such a manicure, it is better not to use rhinestones or glitter as decoration. Well, maybe you can use rhinestones to depict the eyes of a skull.
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.

Ghosts and ghosts
Ghosts and apparitions are another character that Halloween is indispensable. And, by the way, this is the simplest pattern for nail design. Choose a rich dark background for the nail plate: black is the best option, but you can also take dark blue, bottle green, chocolate, graphite, burgundy, red, purple-violet. Now draw the silhouette of a ghost on it in white. It may not be pure white, but translucent, which is how everyone imagines ghosts. Or it can be bright and stylized, as if someone covered with a sheet is scaring others. A ghost can be scary and threatening, or funny and cute, like Casper from the cartoon.
