It’s nice to be able to get your nails done. They make us feel fancy and done up. It’s also just nice to sit at the salon and be pampered.
And nail artists can do some really beautiful things with nails these days. Instagram is filled with pictures of beautiful vivid colors and rhinestone adorning nails.
Nail artists can do a variety of different beautiful and funky styles. But incredible might not be the word for some nail designs. Weird or even gross might be a better fit. Some nail techs come up with some truly bizarre nail designs that leave us cringing rather than adoring them.
Here are 65 weird nail art examples that will leave you slightly disturbed.

1) Baby Bottle Nails
These nails are made to look like baby bottles filled with milk. I’m just wondering what the liquid inside is. Because if it’s actually milk it’s going to stink in a few days.

2) Tooth Nails
Apparently having teeth in your mouth just isn’t enough. This person had to have teeth on their nails. I can’t see how anyone would want these nails. You must really gotta love teeth.

3) Kylie Jenner and Her Baby Stormi
Instead of celebrating something from your own life on your nails, this person wanted to recreate a significant moment in a celebrity’s life. Not a Nobel prize winner, not a peacemaker, innovator, or philantropist. This nail is of a picture Kylie Jenner shared of her daughter Stormi’s hand wrapped around her thumb.

4) Octopus Nails
These are actually a cool work of art. These definitely don’t give me the heebie-jeebies. But I don’t know how the heck you could get anything done with these nails.

5) Aquatic Plant Nails
This is another design with water inside of it. Aquatic plants live inside of these nails. I wonder if it’s a real live plant?
