Pumpkin Nails to Spice up Your Fall & Halloween Style
Autumn has arrived with the promise of cooler weather, colorful leaves, and upcoming festivities. It’s the perfect time to update your manicure for the season. Try pumpkin nails to spice up your fall and Halloween style.
Pumpkin nail designs are a versatile choice for every personality. Whether cute, creepy, or cozy, there’s a pumpkin nail art style for everyone. So, let’s dive into all the different ways to dress up your nails with pumpkins.
Pumpkin Nail Designs
Pumpkin Accent Nail
Orange is not only one of the best fall nail colors this year but also a natural choice for this design. We love how the orange glitter polish looks like tasty syrup on the other fingers.
Moreover, this is a fun manicure for nail art beginners. The results look polished, and the process is straightforward.
First, this is an easy pumpkin to draw. Practice for a moment with a pen and paper. Create the almond-shaped outline and sketch in the lines to define the stem, exterior, and creases. If you don’t have a thin nail art brush, try a toothpick or dotting pen when painting the pumpkin’s outline.
Second, you can cheat with a black Sharpie if you’re using gel polish. Paint the neutral base and cure it. Add an orange, heart-shaped blob for the pumpkin body and cure. Draw the lines and let the ink dry. Lastly, use a glossy top coat to protect your hard work and enjoy a professional finish.
LDS 03 Ace Orange - Gel Polish - Reflective Glitter Cat Eyes
Your pumpkin nails will be dazzling with reflective cat eye polish. The effect is mesmerizing under different types of light. What's more, this highly pigmented, glossy polish is a professional formula that's easy to apply. It won’t shrink or bubble when cured. Plan on it lasting up to 3 weeks or more.
Oh so Cute Baby Pumpkins
Every detail of this charming manicure is done with love, right down to the little blush spots by the mouth.
Begin with a neutral base like polish from our Sundaze Gloss Collection. You can use the same shade on the pumpkin cheeks.
Then, create the adorable little pumpkins with two shades of orange, one darker than the other. Brown line art gel is another option and easier to use than a bulky nail brush.
You’ll also need muted green for the stems and black and white for the eyes and mouths. Then, finish with a glossy top coat.
If you’re not feeling confident about hand-drawing pumpkin nail art, don’t worry. You’re likely to find adorable pumpkin stickers that you can use instead.

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Nails
Here’s another seasonally stylish French manicure suitable for the end of November. The checkered tablecloth and pumpkin would look lovely for a Thanksgiving get-together.

We can’t take our eyes off these burnished pumpkin tips!. The sheer, matte base is a gorgeous canvas for the shimmery squash on top. Delicate white lines expertly accentuate the intricate details, resulting in a truly refined and elegant aesthetic. It’s such an elegant look!

Jack-o’-Lantern Nails
Get those Halloween vibes going with these fun jack-o’-lantern designs.
First, there’s the traditional, festive look with hand-carved pumpkins alternating with glittery orange and white nails.
LDS Gel Nail Polish Duo - 174 Glitter, Orange Colors - Sunset Soirée
We love this shimmery orange that comes in both nail lacquer and gel polish. The lacquer has the advantage of being 9-free, meaning it contains no harsh chemicals like phthalates or formaldehyde. Animal lovers are pleased because it's vegan and cruelty-free.
Nail artists also depend on LDS gels for their durability, flexibility, and rapid curing time under either LED or UV light. They are odorless and easy to apply with excellent coverage.
Or you can sport creepy jack-o’-lantern faces that come to life on your nails in the dark. Achieve this captivating effect using a glow-in-the-dark polish such as LDS Orange Passion. It has a transparent jelly finish in the daylight and an astonishing radiance at night.

Colorful Pumpkins and Squash
Each nail showcases a bountiful harvest of pumpkins and squash, transforming fingertips into a vibrant autumn tapestry. All the favorite fall colors are represented. It’s a lovely design for someone feeling grateful for Nature’s beauty.
The Secret to a Successful Pumpkin Nails Manicure
When you carve a pumpkin to make a jack-o’-lantern, what’s your first step? You might clean off the dirt and draw the face. Do something similar when you start your manicure. Nail preparation is the key to a professional finish and long-lasting results.
Take the time to push back the cuticles, buff the surface, and shape the nails. Cleanse debris and natural oil with a lint-free nail wipe. Then, apply a base coat to protect your nails from staining and help the polish adhere properly.
At the end, apply a top coat and remember to swipe the edge of the nail to protect against chipping.
