The latest beauty trend is religious nail art. Look at these manicures with themes from Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.

Having religious nail art doesn’t necessarily mean someone is religious, they could be doing it ironically like Sharon Osborne. But the look would be good for people that go to church on Sundays. The elaborate nail art makes use of religious icons and symbols, as well as the intricate detailing done with bright jewel tones, metallics, stick on gems and of course glitter.

Here are some of the best examples of religious nail art on Pinterest, as selected by Slutty Raver Costumes. The acrylic nails in the cover image are by Imagine Uhlenbrock.

Most of these manicures are of Catholic inspired art, but we are not trying to convert you. It just happens that they have developed a baroque style of religious iconography that a lot of people appreciate for it’s aesthetic value, in addition to the cultural implications. And that gives nail artists a lot more designs to work with. Hindu nail art pairs well with henna and gold jewelry.
