The Business Card
In case you haven’t seen it, here’s the plot: 456 people drowning in debt, competing in childhood games with a deadly twist for the chance to win life-changing cash. There are shocking twists and vivid visuals that transfer into dramatic nail art, like the guards' red/pink uniforms and these mysterious triangle, circle, and square symbols on the beige business card at the beginning of the series.
The Korean Show Title
The South Korean series was originally named “Round Six”. When the title was created for releasing in the English-speaking market, it was turned into “Squid Game”. based on a Korean children’s game called ojingeo, or “squid”. The stylized graphics for either language incorporate the triangle, square, and circle symbols. In this Squid Game nails design, you can see the title written in Korean with the geometric figures highlighted in magenta.
Pink Guards or Red?
There is something we should make clear right now. You’re not having vision problems if the guards sometimes look like they’re wearing red and other times look like they’re wearing pink. This is by design to set the mood. So, when you’re designing Squid Game nail art, we suggest choosing the colors carefully. We carry polish shades that can go either way depending on the light.
Also, the players’ track suits seem to be either greenish or bluish, so teal can be a helpful middle ground. Isn’t it interesting that this chameleon-type coloration is characteristic of squids in the ocean?
Nevertheless, there is one color that always looks the same: black, what the Front Man wears.

Player Numbers
The series begins by introducing a single dad, Seong Gi-Hun, who’s addicted to gambling. He’s deeply in debt and decides to accept the offer to play children’s games for millions of dollars in prize money. He becomes number 456 joining the other 455 players who are also in financial trouble for assorted reasons. Each person wears a number on their tracksuit for the games, and that fact opens opportunities for nail art. It simplifies personalizing a design and showing support for or a connection to a character without resorting to drawing portraits. Imagine the instant rapport when you encounter someone who understands the significance of the numbers!
The Umbrella
These nails include a chilling symbol from one of the games. There are also numbered teal nails for the players. One person suggested that this ambiguous color reflects fear and resignation. The players are just cogs in the machine, dehumanized in lookalike suits.
The show’s creator said that he was influenced by economic inequality in South Korea and his own financial struggles. He wanted the story to be about losers dealing with economic disadvantages and high expectations from family and culture.

Blood
Yes, this is a violent show with a ruthless premise. You can expect to see blood, and the artist here has softened the blow by making it pink.
Moreover, we’re back to the question of whether the guards are wearing pink or red. In dark scenes, they look like ominous red jumpsuits threatening violence. But in bright light, they seem to be wearing pink, which is harmless or even attractive. This dual design represents their role as they are also trapped in the game but must enforce the rules.
Symbolism
There’s a lot of symbolism in “Squid Game” to include in nail designs. You can put interesting psychological twists on your fingertips including secrets like who the Front Man really is. Or you could reveal how it is that the sole winner of the games reaches the jackpot.
These are Squid Game nails based on the first season. It’s a straightforward style focusing on the symbols and the guards. However, the contrast between matte and glossy hints at how not everything is as it appears.
Diehard fans can draw on details from the second and upcoming third seasons to expand Squid Game nail designs.
