Halloween nail art trends and designs for 2023: ‘don’t be afraid to get weird’
- You might have your Halloween costume ready to go – but have you thought all the little details to make it complete, such as your nails?
- The founders of two Hong Kong nail parlours explain why people go so over the top when it comes to Halloween nail art, and the spooky trends this year
Halloween, when Hong Kong is inundated with themed parties upon parties, is one of the city’s most lively occasions.
But the devil is in the detail: when it comes to Halloween get-ups, your nail art, from simple, claw-shaped stilettos in black and red to complicated styles rooted in alternative fashion, is important.
Halloween is an occasion when anything goes. What might usually be seen as too obscure or out of the ordinary is welcomed and celebrated – particularly on social media. Chemical Nail and Lila0nail are two Hong Kong nail parlours that focus on such unconventional aesthetics.
“Halloween styles don’t necessarily have to be complicated – you can start with changing the shape of your nails,” says nail artist Eva Yu, who founded Chemical Nail in 2021, in Kwun Tong, Kowloon.
