When I first heard that Disney was going to reboot the story about the villainess who scared me the most in its animated films, I knew it was going to be good. But then as the film release drew closer, I knew the nail art would be even better. I started seeing nail techs and hobbyists alike post their Maleficent-inspired manis all over social media. The film has been out nearly a month, but with its $525 million worldwide gross (to date) people are still falling under Angelina Jolie’s spell. Here’s a few of our favorite Maleficent-inspired nail art designs.
