Blood, Spiders and Casper: Spooky Halloween Manicure Ideas

For those looking for an original yet not creepy Halloween nail design, inform.com.de has put together a ton of cool Instagram ideas! We warn you right away: it will be oh so difficult to choose only one festive manicure.

We devoted the last nail-collection to the most creepy Halloween manicure ideas that are suitable for images of witches, zombies, vampires and other evil spirits. However, not everyone shares the tradition of celebrating this mystical night and is ready to try on frightening costumes, make disgusting makeup and do other vile things in their understanding. But if you still want to be at least a little "on topic", you can start small – decorate your nails for Halloween.

And to make it easier for you to look for a themed holiday manicure, we have collected cute nail art on the vastness of Instagram, which do not cause fear and disgust, but rather tenderness and a desire to repeat. But, before we get into the actual Halloween nail design ideas, it's worth remembering which options in general will be relevant.

So, typical motifs remain the most popular: cobwebs, ghosts, bats, pumpkins, jaws, witches, black cats, skeletons, devils, skulls, snakes, crosses, werewolves, as well as space themes (Moon, stars and constellations). These are all 100% Halloween-themed, and can be played around in a pretty cute way to avoid the spooky designs.

For example, the kind ghost Casper from the films of the same name will look great on transparent nails, which are now especially in trend. Other famous movie characters can also sit on a translucent or pastel background – what you need when you want to join the holiday, but do not limit yourself to too bright nail design. 

To support the vampire theme of the Halloween party, characters such as Count Dracula, images of fangs and black and red colors will help. To speed up the process, use stickers or the stamping technique.

Bloody streaks on the nails can look very elegant if you combine them with a colored jacket or imitate paint splashes with red or burgundy varnish. Sometimes just focusing on one finger is enough, remember that. By the way, it is not difficult to make such a manicure for Halloween at home, but let's better trust the professionals.

The mood of the holiday will also be conveyed by the corresponding inscriptions and slogans, the names of horror films, plain and combined nail designs with the help of varnishes in autumn shades, including a fashionable ombre.

For the lazy, a simple black Halloween manicure is suitable, which, if desired, can be diversified with splashes of gold foil, the same stickers or a matte top. An abstract nail design is another great idea if you don't really want complex and confusing solutions. A couple of ornate patterns, intertwined stripes or an imitation of flames in orange, green, brown and neon tones will do with a bang.

For a wow effect and enthusiastic reactions of others, you can make more efforts and make three-dimensional nail art with 3D elements. Find the craziest ideas here.

As you can see, there are a lot of options. So if you're close to choosing your holiday themed Halloween manicure, these ideas might come in handy.
