The Meaning Behind Purple Halloween Nails

When we think of Halloween, we tend to automatically associate it with black and orange colors.

These two hues do have a symbolic meaning to the horror holiday. 

Black represents darkness, and the fun begins when the sun sets, while orange is the color of fire and is also a good representation of fall and the harvest season.

This is also when decorations like the Jack-O-Lantern, candy corn, and black cats are expected to make an appearance during Halloween.

Although the black-and-orange combo will always be a top choice, purple is also quickly becoming a Halloween favorite! Purple is a regal color, often associated with witchcraft and sorcery. 

It’s a fresh and bright color that has a less scary vibe while still providing that air of mystery. That’s one of the main reasons for so many people using purple as their main nail polish base during Halloween for a more modern vibe.

33+ Best Ideas for Purple Halloween Nails

Believe it or not, purple is easy to pair with other colors.

You can easily match it with other Halloween colors like teal, blue, pink, and black and orange classics to create unique combinations.

Purple Halloween Nails for Different Personal Styles

Purple nail polish is relatively easy to work with. With so many shades of purple to choose from, you have so much versatility in creating fantastic nail art. You can also complement it with a variety of nail accessories, from rhinestones and beads to stickers, stamps, foil, loose glitter, and so much more!

Just because your nails are purple means that your Halloween OOTD should be the shade of purple, too. While you can still opt for an all-out purple look, don’t be afraid to wear yellow, orange, pink, or blue because these colors can complement your purple nails. The color is surprisingly adaptable and makes a fun base hue for all skin tones.

Conclusion

Be bolder this year and give your Halloween nails a new look! Ditch the old black and orange and opt for purple nails this coming All Hallows’ Day. 

This vibrant color can easily elevate your overall appearance and make you feel more confident about yourself. Have fun with your purple nails, and let them showcase your personality and style!
