If you’ve spent several years’ worth of Sunday nights parked in front of the TV watching Game of Thrones, at some point you’re going to want something to show for that near-decade of dedication — whether that’s making your apartment the go-to spot for watch parties or going the extra mile and finally getting that House Stark tattoo.
But if you’re looking to pay homage to all those hour-long episodes you sat through with your heart in your throat hoping your favorite character wasn’t about to meet their untimely end, in a way that doesn’t involve permanent body art or decorating your house with (surprisingly expensive) sigils from the official HBO website, that’s where nail art comes in.
You can subtly celebrate the iconic series with a simple design or go with a more obvious tribute — the possibilities are endless, and temporary, so you can shift allegiances to the winning team on a weekly basis if you see fit. We’ve rounded up some of the best designs or honoring GoT, for all the inspiration you need to show your fandom on your hands before, during, or even after someone has ultimately taken the Iron Throne.
Take inspiration from Maisie Williams, a.k.a Arya Stark herself: She celebrated the season 6 premiere with "GoT" written out on top of her nude polish.
Team Daenerys? Honor her journey to the throne with this nail look. "This set is inspired by Daenerys Stormborn and the take back of Meereen, falling of the Sons of the Harpy, and the Queen’s dragon," the artist wrote on Instagram.
Heed the late Countess Olenna’s advice and be a dragon, with this scale-like design that will look just as cool long after the final episode of season 8.
Combine your trendy marble mani with Ned Stark’s unforgettable maxim: "Winter is coming."
The chicest, most subtle way to give a nod to the show: nail art inspired by, but not in direct reference to, White Walkers.
Dragon’s eggs, swords, plenty of gold — the gang’s all here, in rich colors that would make Cersei Lannister proud.
Pour one out for Margaery Tyrell, whose iconic dresses and rose-and-thorns sigil inspired this robin’s-egg blue mani.
They say the best swords have names, and we say the best GoT nails have swords.
While this might seem like a simple play on patterns, look closer and you’ll see the green dragons come alive.
