Purple as a color is very unique; being associated with royalty centuries ago, it got a reputation for being synonymous with elegance and richness. Purple, when used alone or combined with other colors, stands out, and if you are looking for a manicure that is bold and stands out, you can’t go wrong with Purple. Purple, however, works great with Halloween themes, and if you are interested in wearing a purple manicure for Halloween this season, you’ve come to the right place.

I have compiled a list of purple Halloween nails featuring different shades and tones of purple that are combined with different nail shapes such as stiletto nails, square nails, almond nails, and so much more. The list below contains a variety of creative and versatile nail designs that you will be excited to recreate.

1. Purple bat nails

These simple, medium-length, almond-shaped Halloween nails use a simple nude base blended with purple at the tips, creating a gradient effect. Little bats are drawn on the nails to give an illusion of birds flying in the sky.

2. Purple glittery spider nails

This is one of the cutest nail designs on this list. First, there are very few options available for short nails, as there is very little canvas. This simple nail design makes good use of the little space to achieve these elegant nails. The thumb is painted with the usual Halloween themes: ghosts, webs, and bats. The index and ring fingers just use a simple black glitter gel polish to add some glam to the nails; the middle and pinky nails feature a simple web design over a lilac base.

3. Lilac spider nails

Another lilac spider nail design with purple glittery polish used on the ring finger to elevate the nails; dark purple glittery nails are used to add some balance to the nails. This is a super simple nail design that you can recreate at home.

4. Purple pumpkin nails

Looking to have a pumpkin spooky manicure but don’t want to use the typical orange color? This design paints the pumpkins purple, which I think is a unique spin on your typical Halloween nails. Other Halloween themes are drawn to complete the look.
