Hi, hello, I’m sure you’re aware, but just in case, here’s your friendly reminder that Passover is mere weeks away. Yup, April 15 is fast approaching. And my favorite way of getting into the festivities? Getting my nails all made up for the occasion, whether it’s shamrock-green Saint Patrick’s Day nails, red and pink Valentine’s Day nails, or earth-toned Thanksgiving nails. So if you haven’t already started thinking about it, I went ahead and found all the cutest Passover nail ideas so your mani can be fully seder-ready come April—including some really detailed ideas for the nail art pros and some super-easy Ten Plagues–themed nail stickers if you want a manicure in less than 10 minutes. Trust me: These will get you in the mood for seder—especially since a couple of these feature actual matzah, which, like, how cute? Ahead, seven of the cutest Passover nail ideas to start practicing now.
These Detailed Ten Plagues Passover Nails
This Passover nail idea is basically a work of art on each finger. And don’t get me started on the colors—how cool is the blue and red combo against the metallic accent colors? Unless you have pro-level nail art skills (which, kudos if you do), my advice is to screenshot this pic and take it to your tech.

These 3D Ten Plagues Passover Nails
I don’t know what I love more, the way this Passover nail art looks legitimately 3D or the level of detail on each finger. Pro tip: Ask your nail tech if they can do intricate nail art like this and how much it will cost before you make your appointment. And don’t forget to order some red rhinestones ahead of time for your ring finger.

These Ten Plagues Passover Nails
How cute will this Passover nail idea look against some matzah in the background of your Insta Story? You don’t even need to worry about hand-painting each of the plagues here because nail artist Rabbi Yael Buechler made actual Ten Plagues nail stickers—you can just carefully lay them on a dry layer of creamy white nail polish, then cover with a glossy coat and call it a day.

This Fly Plague Idea for Passover Nails
Gold nails with silver polka dots are an easy Passover nail idea you can recreate without consulting your nail tech. What you’ll need: gold, silver, and black nail polishes as well as a small nail art brush for creating the dots. Then grab a pack of Ten Plagues–themed nail stickers (which are used in this pic, btw) to decorate your pinkie with the lil fly.

This Chai Symbol Passover Nail Idea
If the Ten Plagues are too on the nose for you, opt for this simple chai symbol Passover nail idea. Paint baby blue nail polish on every nail except for your ring finger—and on your ring finger, swap in white nail polish instead. Once dry, paint the chai symbol on your accent nail with a thin nail brush, and finish it off with a glittery top coat for an extra bit of oomph.

These Blue and Gold Symbol Passover Nails
Look, I know these intricate nail designs are probably intimidating, to say the least—so just take it one layer at a time and make sure you’re equipped with the right tools (see: a nail-dotting tool and a nail art brush set). First, paint on two coats of bright-blue nail polish and wait until these layers dry completely (at least three minutes between coats). Then, with a nail art brush, lightly trace the Egyptian symbols one stroke at a time with a gold nail polish.

These Egyptian-Inspired Passover Nails
Nail art experts, I’m looking at you for this detailed Passover nail design. You’ll need a bevy of colors to get it done, so look for tan, black, camel brown, white, gray, and gold nail polishes plus a set of nail art brushes. Each animal or palm tree on this manicure has a shadow to go with it, so be patient with each layer and take it slow with your brush strokes.
