Halloween is the time for goblins and ghouls and all things evil – including our favorite Disney villains. What better way to give them representation than with Disney villain nail designs?
We’ve gathered some villainous manicure inspiration with all your faves, from Maleficent to Oogie Boogie to Ursula, for you to try out next time you’re getting ready to hit the Disney parks.
Because honestly, the bad guys are the ones we either love to hate or aspire to be. Or both. So instead of transforming yourself into a princess, join the dark side. Without the black eyeliner and bad side bangs.
20 Disney Villain Nail Designs
1. Ursula and Maleficent Nails
Two queens for the price of one manicure? We’re sold. Hey, it’s only our vocal chords.
2. Villain Era
Look, we’ve all been in our “villain era” from time to time. There is no harm embracing it. What’s the worst that could happen? You get dragged into the depths of the River Styx, that’s what.
3. Lotso Nails
A fluffy purple teddy bear. And a villain? We would say we don’t believe you, but we’re definitely still scarred from the first time we saw Toy Story 3.
4. Villain Heads Nails
This design makes evil look cute. There is something sweet about villains when you can only see the top third of their heads. Ill intentions didn’t make the frame.
5. Sanderson Sisters Manicure
The Sanderson sisters may not be the first to come to mind when you think about Disney villains, but they’re some of the most sinister around. Incompetent, yes. Funny, yes. Good singers, yes. Wait, where were we going with this?
6. Maleficent Nails
We can’t sleep on the all-powerful dark fairy that is Maleficent. But if you do, at least your nails will look cute when you fatally prick your finger on a spinning wheel’s spindle.
7. Mistress of All Evil Nails
In the 2014 movie, Maleficent is misunderstood and betrayed by an ex-lover, so we get her maleficence. She really was set up for failure with a name like that, tbh.
8. Evil Queen Nails
Look, we know there is something unhinged about asking a mirror every day if it thinks you’re pretty. Think of all the heartache that would’ve been saved if the mirror just swiped left.
9. Villain Portrait Nails
Bust out your teeny-tiny brush and easel to etch out portraits of these villains. We’re just grateful they don’t have eyes. No one needs to see us house our DoorDash order at night.
10. Cruella de Vil Nails
Cruella has been described as many things. “This vampire bat,” “this inhuman beast,” and even a spider. But no one can deny her status as a fashion icon.
Cruella would definitely approve of the dalmatian pattern on these nails, but she might object to them being…inauthentic.
11. Hades Nails
These ruler of the underworld nails feature a blue flame, and the mortal potion that Pain and Panic attempt to use on baby Hercules. Pain and panic sounds oddly familiar. Ah, we were thinking of Mondays.
12. Evil Queen Nails
Anyone who would disguise themselves as an Old Hag so they can poison their stepdaughter needs therapy. If only she had TikTok, she could have just self-diagnosed and none of this would have happened.
13. Ursula Nails
Just to clarify, we do not condone stealing someone’s voice. Even if they sound like Jodi Benson.
14. Disney Villain Icon Nails
Can you guess which villain is each icon? The bottle with a llama is Yzma and the eye is Scar. The hook? Well that’s obviously Peter Pan. He did feed his nemesis’ hand to a crocodile and kidnapped several children, after all.
15. Poison Apple Nails
The Evil Queen’s weapon of choice. And we get it, beauty fades…but a poison apple does not. Well, unless there is a Prince nearby ready to pucker up.
16. Captain Hook Nails
Captain Hook would absolutely approve of glittery red nails. The man is bombastic and loves to show off. He also has major beef with a 12-year-old. But in his defense, middle schoolers are scary.
17. Oogie Boogie Nails
Oogie Boogie is a scary dude, and we’re not just saying that because we saw The Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time when we were kids. On second thought, maybe we are.
18. Pop Art Villain Nails
Andy Warhol would have found a muse in at least one of these villainous pop art women. He embraced capitalism, just like we do when we go to a Disney park. Spending money feels better when everything’s shaped like Mickey Mouse.
19. Jafar Nails
These nails are fine enough to woo a princess. The one Jafar wants? Not likely. But we hear Lady Tremaine is single and ready to mingle.
20. Villain Symbol Nails
The apple and the flame in this design glow in the dark. So when you find yourself in a dark room, whoever is with you will think there is a disembodied apple and flame in the room with them. How evil of you.
