This Passover-Themed Nail Art Is All You Need For Seder

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
There’s ten new terrifying plagues this Passover — and they’re all in the form of cute nail art.
Midrash Manicures, a nail painting company that incorporates Jewish themes into wearable items, just released a line of nail art featuring the ten modern plagues. That means you can forget all about about blood, frogs and lice — there’s now climate change, healthcare access and alternative facts to reckon with.
Lots of heavy stuff, admittedly, but at least your nails will look really fresh during seder.
This is the fourth time Midrash Manicures has released Passover-themed nail art. Over the years the modern plagues have included texting, no wireless, selfies and NFL scandals. Ah, to live in (somewhat) simpler times.
