If you'd never considered coven nails before, you might be more on board now. That's because, word has it, when the world around us is looking pretty bleak (see: cozzie livs) we tend to turn to the the supernatural and all things occult for a little escapism.
It's maybe why burning sage or cupping crystals is looking a lot less woo-woo – it's worth a go, right? Or perhaps its why #witchtok has provided a safe haven (ahem, coven) for literally billions of us on TikTok. It's probably also why the grunge and goth girl aesthetic has exploded because if we don't have the funds to be “that girl” we can be “alt dark witch girl” all for the price of a kohl liner, and feel like we're raging against the machine while doing it.
Whatever the case, it seems that being able to stare at teensy wiccan symbols on top of our fingernails is the mini daily distraction we're craving because we've started noticing coven nails everywhere. They've been manifested in multiple different ways, too. Alongside stars, moons, chains, pentagons and celestial skyscapes, we've seen crack and schism nails, eclipse nails, ombre black nails and mist-effect manis all feeding into the trend. So, whether you want to make your witchy intensions known, or keep it a little more mysterious, there's a design for you.
