Nail design for Halloween – 30 ideas to do yourself

Creepy skulls, funny pumpkins or mysterious bats – these motifs can decorate your nails on Halloween. With a little skill and a lot of imagination you can prepare for this celebration. We'll show you 30 ideas for nail design for Halloween - including some video instructions on the topic.

If you dress up for Halloween, you can choose appropriate motifs. For example, if you have sewn a witch costume yourself or rented it, then you can decorate your fingernails with bats. The bloody fingernails go well with the zombie costume, and funny Jack O' Lanterns go well with the bird show clothing. And if you want to scare your friends with a vampire outfit, then you can paint Dracula on your nails! The possibilities are simply limitless - and best of all - these simple motifs can be painted with an old ballpoint pen or toothpick. And if you would like to try out a nail design for Halloween, or are at least not confident about this painting technique, you can opt for a simpler version -namely the nail stickers. They are super easy to put on and take off and have one downside - they don't last long. So let your creativity run wild and try one or more of the nail designs below!

Graveyard pattern nails

Did you know? Although the Fruselfest is widely celebrated in North America these days, the festival actually comes from Europe - here the Celts celebrated the end of summer with a so-called festival of the dead. That's why people back then traditionally dressed up as ghosts and painted their faces white. The custom was later adopted by the people of Ireland and brought to the USA. It enjoyed increasing popularity there and was then brought back to Europe at the beginning of the last century. It was also at this time that the legend of Jack O'Lantern emerged, a farmer who supposedly outsmarted the devil. In recognition of his cleverness, the devil gave him a lantern - with it he could light his way to heaven after death. Perhaps it is precisely because of legends like this that certain motifs are so popular – pumpkins, skulls, ghosts.
