Spooky Halloween nails

First off, let’s discuss the type of nails, which make any spooky idea more complete. The winner, when it comes to nail shape for Halloween, is definitely the stiletto nail shape. It is long, pointy and leaves plenty of room for a truly scary artwork. Coffin nails come second. The same thing goes for them, as well, long and with enough space for drawing and decorations. What’s more, they are literally called coffin nails, because they follow the shape of a coffin. Does it get any scarier than that?

What are the most popular Halloween nail designs

Now, it is time to discuss the most popular Halloween nail designs. First of all, there are a few colors, which seem to dominate the designs.

Black

Green

Green is a color, which is often associated with witches and their potions. What’s more, one of the most famous monsters – Frankenstein, was all green. That is why, this color is so popular.

Pumpkins

As we already said, the symbol of Halloween is the most widespread decoration for the holiday.

Monsters / Supernatural beings

Famous monsters from every legend and tale imaginable are your go-to nail decorations. Ghosts, spiders, webs, vampires, werewolves, you name it. It all goes on Halloween.

Blood / Body parts

Probably the goriest nail decoration of them all, dripping red blood or different body parts are often used. What’s more, they actually make for a pretty breathtaking nail design. So, don’t be afraid to get gross and use it.

Cemeteries / Haunted houses

Since Halloween is the day, on which we honor the dead and their spirits, naturally, the cemetery is a go-to decoration idea. So, why not incorporate it into your nail design. Same goes for haunted houses. They are an inseparable part of Halloween.

Famous horror movie characters

Pennywise, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, etc. are some of the most popular characters. Nightmare Before Christmas seems to be the film, which inspires many Halloween nail ideas.
