21. Black + Orange
There are two colours very often associated with the celebration of Halloween, and they are orange and black. Black is a pretty obvious one because it’s a symbol of death and mourning, exactly the spooky connection you’d want to have. Orange, on the other hand, is connected with Halloween because it stands for endurance and strength, and also the harvest.

Often other shades such as brown and gold are thrown in, and the whole lot together acts as a reminder that the day initially was set to symbolise life and death – honouring the dead in order to have a great life. Because we really should honor the time-old traditions.
22. Eye-Catching Halloween Nails
Although no one really knows where the ACTUAL tradition of Halloween began, it’s said to have started in Ireland, although there are similar festivals that happened around the same time across the globe, and some of these have gone on for many centuries.

Aren’t these Halloween nails cute? And we do know the origin of these! That jigsaw effect really adds a special something to the tops of these beauties,, and we love the colours that have been used within them too. A winning design, if you ask us!
23. Cute Black Cats
Halloween itself has been known by a whole host of names over the years, and across the most popular include ‘Witches Night’, ‘All Hallow’s Eve’, ‘Lamswool’, ‘Snap-Apple Night’, ‘Samhaim’, and even ‘Summer’s End’ which, when you think about it, actually does make a lot of sense.

While we’re on the subject of black cats, what do you think about these kitty-inspired nails? They’re the perfect combination of cute and creepy we think, but do you agree with us?
24. Easy & Cute
It’s actually considered to be bad luck to kill a spider, so maybe think twice before you choose to splat it with yesterday’s old newspaper.

Instead, gather some inspiration for it … whilst safely popping it in a jar and re-homing the critter outside. Obviously preferably somewhere far away.
25. Creepy Nail Design
The idea of Halloween is to mark the end of the year – the end of the Harvest too. Scarecrows have become a popular association with the festivities because of that, and it’s also become one of the most popular Halloween costumes, especially among kids. (Probably because it’s also one of the easiest too …)

The connection is down to the fact that scarecrows mark the ‘agricultural roots’.
