It&#8217;s a riff on the biblical Ten Plagues of Egypt, only updated with &#8220;modern&#8221; plagues.

The same business responsible for the Modern Plagues nails, Midrash Manicures, actually sells <a href=\"http:\/\/midrashmanicures.com\/product\/ten-plagues-nail-decals\/\">decals<\/a> depicting cow skulls, googly-eyed flies, and phlegmatic-looking frogs.

I&#8217;m not sure why iPhones qualify as a plague, but whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Passover begins April 3 and Easter is on April 5, so there&#8217;s still time to paint your nails with cutesy little reminders of divine horrors.<\/p>\n<p>Bonus links: If you just can&#8217;t get enough plaguey goodness, check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Passover-Plagues-Puppets-Kit-Create-Children\/dp\/B007QVBQ2W\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=shadmano-20qid=1427716745&#038;sr=8-1\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ten Plagues Hand Puppets<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/theworstthingsforsale.com\/2015\/03\/25\/masks-of-the-ten-plagues\/\">Masks of the Ten Plagues<\/a>, and the brilliant <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Passover-Bag-of-Plagues\/dp\/B007QVJ8PE\/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=shadmano-20&#038;qid=1427716759&#038;sr=8-6\" rel=\"nofollow\">Passover Bag of Plagues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>(via Amber Dawn)<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This nail art is six levels of meta.
