If it’s October 1, we know Megan Thee Stallion is doing two things: wearing a pumpkin on her head and serving up Halloween nail art inspo. No, seriously. She has truly committed to this bit. Just check out her jack-o-lantern and manicure combo from last year and the year before. And this year, she’s back again with not only a creepy-yet-cute Halloween manicure but a new pumpkin piercing, too.
You read that right: Megan Thee Stallion posted a carousel of photos to her Instagram grid showing her at a piercing studio, getting what is essentially an eyebrow piercing, even though noggin gourd has no discernible eyebrows. And yet, the dangling crossing looks totally fierce, especially with all of the other gems she’s wearing with her casual, cropped white tee, jeans, and slouchy boots.
Thankfully, a couple of the photos give us a clear shot of this year’s highly anticipated October 1 manicure, and it’s actually a bit more subdued than in years past. (She has yet to reveal which of her nail artists is behind the design.) They’re short and squared off, with a few different themes. Some nails are painted black with red dots; others have a traditional French manicure combo of a sheer pink base with white tips, plus a red dot.
However, most adorable—or horrifying, depending on your personal phobias—nails in this manicure are the ones with clown faces on them. There’s nothing inherently frightening about them: a white base with a simple smile, star-shaped eyes, and a classic clown nose. But that won’t ease the fears of anyone who categorizes clowns as monsters.
