25 Witchy Nails That’ll Cast a Spell on Everyone
Dark, mystical, and totally mesmerizing—these witchy nail designs will have you channeling your inner enchantress. Whether you’re a full-on coven member or just love a little dark glam, these ideas are pure magic.
1. Midnight Black Matte
Nothing screams witchy vibes like a classic black matte finish. It’s sleek, mysterious, and goes with every spellbook (or coffee cup).
Pair it with a subtle shimmer topcoat for a hint of moonlight glow. Perfect for those “I might hex you” days.
2. Blood Red Ombre
Drip into darkness with a blood-red ombre that fades from deep crimson to black. It’s dramatic, fierce, and totally vampy.
Pro tip: Add a glossy topcoat to make it look fresh—like you just conjured it.
3. Celestial Starry Night
Imagine a midnight sky dotted with tiny stars and a crescent moon. This design is celestial magic at its finest.
- Use a dotting tool for stars
- Silver foil for moon accents
Wear this when you need a little cosmic guidance.
4. Poison Apple Gloss
Deep green with a glossy finish? Yes, please. This shade gives off major “Snow Witch” energy.
Add a tiny black apple decal on one nail for that fairy-tale twist.
5. Tarot Card Accent
Pick your favorite card (The Moon? The High Priestess?) and miniaturize it on one nail. It’s a subtle nod to your mystical side.
FYI, this works best as a single accent nail—unless you’re ready to go full fortune-teller.
6. Smoky Quartz Tips
Smudged gray and black tips mimic the look of smoky quartz crystals. It’s earthy yet edgy.
Use a sponge for that gradient effect. Trust me, it’s easier than it looks.
7. Cobweb Lace
Delicate cobweb designs over a sheer black base? Spooky and sophisticated. Perfect for Halloween or any day you feel extra.
Thin nail art brushes are your best friend here.
8. Witchy French Tips
Swap the classic white for black tips with a tiny silver line underneath. It’s French manicure meets dark academia.
Seriously, this is office-appropriate witchiness.
9. Glow-in-the-Dark Runes
Paint ancient runes in glow-in-the-dark polish for a secret message that only appears at night. Mysterious much?
Best for late-night coven meetings.
10. Pentagram Sparkle
A tiny pentagram on a deep purple base with glitter? Yes, it’s as cool as it sounds.
Use a stencil if freehand isn’t your thing.
11. Raven Feather Accents
Black feather designs on one or two nails add a touch of gothic elegance. Channel your inner Morrigan.
Pair with matte black for maximum drama.
12. Haunted House Silhouette
A tiny haunted house on a blood-red background? Spooky season forever, please.
Bonus points if you add a floating “ghost” decal.
13. Mystic Moon Phases
Paint each nail with a different moon phase—new moon to full. It’s celestial and chic.
Great for tracking your own lunar cycle, IMO.
14. Black Cat Outline
A minimalist black cat silhouette on one nail is purr-fect for feline-loving witches.
Add a tiny rhinestone collar if you’re feeling fancy.
15. Dragon Scale Texture
Use a scale-effect stamp or foil to create dragon-inspired nails. Dark green or black works best.
Warning: You might start hoarding treasure after wearing these.
16. Crystal Ball Gloss
A deep blue or purple with a glossy finish looks like a swirling crystal ball. Add a tiny “fog” decal for fun.
Perfect for when you’re predicting someone’s future (or just their Starbucks order).
17. Witchy Chrome
Mirror-like chrome in black or dark purple gives off futuristic sorceress vibes.
Apply over a black base for maximum intensity.
18. Herb Garden Nails
Tiny painted herbs (think rosemary, lavender) on a neutral base? Practical and pretty.
Ideal for kitchen witches who also love a good manicure.
19. Ouija Board Accent
A single nail with a mini Ouija planchette? Spooky and stylish.
Pair with matte black for that “I communicate with spirits” look.
20. Velvet Witch Red
Deep burgundy with a velvety matte finish feels luxe and mysterious. Like a vampire’s favorite lipstick.
Wear this when you want to intimidate (in the best way).
21. Dark Fairy Wings
Sheer black with delicate wing designs? Ethereal and eerie at once.
Use a fine brush or stamp for those intricate details.
22. Cursed Locket Design
A tiny locket or key painted on one nail adds a vintage witchy touch.
Pair with a rusty red or antique gold for that cursed heirloom vibe.
23. Ashy Gray Stiletto
Long, sharp stiletto nails in ashy gray? Dangerous and divine.
Not for the faint-hearted—literally, you might poke someone.

One nail with tiny “aged paper” texture and faux writing? For the bookish witches.
Bonus: Add a miniature wax seal decal.
25. Glittering Black Sand
