Best K-Pop Demon Hunter Nail Ideas
Huntr/X Neon Nails
Cosplayers, take note. These neon nails with lightning strikes are a dual-purpose design. It’s a blend of K-pop glamour with supernatural demon-fighting power. Moreover, it’s a simple look to do with glow-in-the-dark polish like the Lavis Neon Obsession Collection.

What Is “k-Pop Demon Hunters”?
Before we go any further, here’s a quick summary for those who haven’t yet enjoyed the animated film. It focuses on Rumi, Zoey, and Mira of the K-pop band, Huntr/x. Their music and demon-fighting abilities keep the world safe from evil fiends. Meanwhile, the Saja Boys are a demon band working to defeat Huntr/x and free a malevolent superbeing. Of course, the story is packed with love and betrayal and lots of toe-tapping tunes. And did we mention over-the-top fashion and unexpectedly funny moments? It’s got those, too. (“No more abs!”)
Demon Marks
We soon discover that Rumi has a secret: she’s part demon as witnessed by marks on her skin that look like purple tattoos. She’s ashamed of her heritage and hides it from everyone including her bandmates. However, her secret catches up with her when the band and the world need her voice the most.
Huntr/X Nails
Movie fans have meticulously copied K-pop Demon Hunter nail ideas straight from screenshots. Then they create flowing, textured looks like this. This set recalls on stage looks worn by Huntr/x (pronounced like “huntricks”). At first glance, it might seem complicated, but if you have the right tools, it just takes patience.
For example, the sponge and grabber sets and Pat Pat Gel Palettes simplify creating no-mess ombre looks. Then it’s a matter of using emboss gel in chrome and clear for texture.

Rumi’s Intro
Rumi starts off with black nails with silver chrome swirls like the ones seen above. You can catch a glimpse in the video for the song, “How It’s Done”. They fit perfectly with her streetwear stage costume, chunky silver chains, and long purple ponytail. She always wears clothes that hide the demon patterns on her upper body.
Golden Huntr/X Nails
What’s the best polish for K-pop Demon Hunter nail art? Cat eye gels are perfect for capturing the glam and mystical powers all at once.
Purple and gold are important colors in the film. Purple, because of Rumi with her lavender hair, violet sword, and demon markings. And gold because of the song, “Golden”, and the Golden Honmoon, the magical barrier that seals the demons outside the human world.

Mira’s Nails
Mira’s hair is dark pink, and she wears silver jewelry, so these nails reflect her style. She’s a complicated character who struggles to feel worthy of her friends’ and family’s love. Her personality is snarky and confrontational, and she tends to be brutally honest. But even with her temper and sharp tongue, it’s obvious she cares deeply for her bandmates.
Golden Honmoon Nail Idea
The Honmoon is a magical defense against the demon realm. HUNTR/X has the power to reinforce this mystical barrier with their music that inspires hope and courage in humans. Then, humans emit soul energy that strengthens the protection.
Since the Honmoon gradually runs out of energy, the demon hunters of HUNTR/X want to create a golden version that will permanently seal the demon kingdom off from the human world.
Saja Boy Nail Art
Anyone who has enjoyed BTS, ATEEZ, or BIGBANG is going to recognize the Saja Boys. Just as HUNTR/X is modeled on BLACKPINK, TWICE, and ITZY, the K-pop Demon Hunters bad boy band of actual demons resembles real stars. Naturally, they start stealing hearts with their good looks and sweet voices. But they rob souls to empower their evil boss and weaken the barrier between the worlds.

Portrait Nails
Here you can see the main characters. They include Baby, Romance, Abby, Mystery, and Jinu of the Saja Boys, along with Zoey, Rumi, and Mira of HUNTR/X. Pink and purple are essential colors for both bands.
K-Pop Demon Hunters Freestyle with Derpy
One of the favorite characters isn’t a bandmember, however. It’s a demon tiger nicknamed Derpy. He has blue fur, tusks, and a perpetually silly expression. Not shown here, but also part of the set, is a sassy magpie named Sussie with six eyes.
More K-pop Demon Hunters Nail Ideas
We were surprised that we didn’t see nail art featuring the Korean norigae. It’s a good luck charm that Rumi and her group all wear. The decorative pendant consists of a main ornament made of a gemstone with gold or silver and a silk tassel.
Another possibility would be to create sets focused on the music, like mismatched nails decorated with one per song. Both bands have featured hits throughout the film, and each song has distinct visual elements that would translate to nail art.
Lastly, there’s a lot of symbolism in the movie. For example, “Saja” can mean “grim reaper” or “lion.” You can see a stylized lion’s face that’s part of the Saja Boys on-stage set. Moreover, HUNTR/X’s logo is made of interlocked Korean knots and each of their weapons has a special meaning. We’re certain that fans of the film can create truly stunning sets by delving deep into the culture and story.
