General trends
At a party in honor of All Saints' Day, any young lady, regardless of age, tries to appear “terribly beautiful,” as they say, to the very tips of her nails. Suitable design ideas include all kinds of prints that reflect the theme of the holiday. It can be:
- image of the main symbol of the day - pumpkin;
- drops or streaks of blood;
- web;
- scorpions;
- black Cats;
- ghosts;
- the bats;
- skull, bones or entire miniature skeletons.
Primary colors: black, orange, red, white, yellow. Conical rhinestones, metallized foil, nail art tape, and glitter are used as decorative elements. Pointed long nails are good on their own, they don’t even need decoration, just apply black polish. And of course, the main thing is that the manicure matches the chosen image concept and is bright and memorable.

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.

How to do your own Halloween manicure
A party on All Saints' Day is a one-time event and not every girl will agree to flaunt a very specific manicure at the end of it. Therefore, not everyone is ready to spend money on professional nail art for such an event. A rational approach here is completely justified, especially since it is quite possible to create an original nail design yourself. If you don't know how to draw at all, choose the simplest options or use decals.
Nail art is just the finishing touch to add expressiveness to the entire look. Therefore, first decide which negative character you prefer. If you have chosen the role of a lovely witch for yourself, then the black cat symbol will be perfect for it. The main background is made in the main color of the holiday – pumpkin. You can also use white or yellow varnish.
Manicure with pumpkins
No Halloween celebration is complete without a pumpkin. This is an indispensable attribute of the holiday, with which they try to decorate not only the interior, the porch of the house, the festive table, but also the marigolds.
Girls have two options. Cover your nails with a single bright orange color or paint a whole composition on your nails with a pumpkin and other scary characters.
Drawing a pumpkin on your nails is quite simple. Draw an oval-shaped spot on the nail, then use a thin brush to draw the veins and tail. Use black or white varnish to paint eyes and teeth.
Twilight forest with grave crypts and other horrors
Have you decided to appear at the festival in the role of the sorceress Maleficent from the fantasy film of the same name? Then pay attention to the “sinister” manicure depicting the details of an enchanted forest.
Nail art with the image of a cobweb is suitable not only for a witch, but also for a zombie, who, according to legend, has just emerged from a crypt to stroll around the city at night.
Halloween, although a little creepy, is a fun holiday, so a funny manicure would be quite appropriate here. Abstract clown faces, symbolic images of pumpkins, thematic inscriptions, and cartoon ghosts are suitable for thematic design.
Bats, ghouls, sinister sisters of mercy and other respectable evil spirits are very popular characters of the night celebration. This means a manicure with drops of “blood” on your nails will come in very handy. This design can be done easily and quickly. Apply a thick drop of red varnish onto the main background, and then use a toothpick to draw chaotic lines from it.
Halloween isn't just for adults. Children and teenagers also take an active part in its celebration. Perhaps your daughter or younger sister will also want to dress appropriately for the event and decorate her nails. Offer her an easy design option for short nails, like the one in the photo below.
Popular questions and answers
Questions that interest readers, whether a Halloween manicure is practical, what color girls most often choose, and whether such a manicure costs more than usual, will be answered by manicure and pedicure master, studio founder and manicure instructor Anna Ruben .
How often do girls get their nails done on Halloween? Is this practical?
A manicure from a specialist, and even if in a salon or studio, is not a cheap or quick procedure. The girl needs to make an appointment, come, spend 2 hours getting a manicure, pay about 1500-2000 rubles. Getting your nails done twice a month just because it's Halloween isn't entirely practical. But there is a way out! Clients basically choose the color of polish that matches their look, cover their nails with it, and on the eve of the terrible holiday, stick a sticker that matches their costume. For example, with the image of a vampire, pumpkin or doll. You can buy such a sticker at any store that sells varnishes and everything for manicure. After the holiday it can be torn off. But there are also those girls who ask to paint their nails just for Halloween. After the holiday, they come to remove the covering and make a new one - they have the time and finances.
What are the trendiest nail polish colors for Halloween?
They choose mainly orange (like a pumpkin), red, white, black, and rarely warm and nude colors. This is about Halloween itself. If this is a regular autumn manicure, then brown, green, mustard.
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.
Witch's stilettos
If you choose the image of a witch for a masquerade, make your nails sharp, in the shape of a stiletto.
And preferably, paint them with dark or bright red varnish. If the nails are long enough and the sharp shape can be repeated, there is no need to even make some kind of design on the nails - that is already enough. In general, sharp nails will suit both the image of a vampire and even the appearance of a skeleton. If a witch's nails (that is, claws) should be black, then a vampire's nails can be bright red, like blood. And for the skeleton - white or in a combination of white and black. You can also use dark shades with a “cat’s eye” effect: dark blue, purple, burgundy, dark green. If too sharp nails seem uncomfortable to you, make at least an almond shape, slightly pointed at the tip.
Other ideas for short and long nails
Of course, even on Halloween, manicures should only be done on prepared nails. Therefore, do not forget to process the cuticle, remove hangnails and trim the length. It is not at all necessary to spend too much time creating a design at home or going to a master. The holiday is very popular, which means that manufacturers have tried their best to provide us with everything necessary for fun. You can purchase decorative film for nail art.
