Nails are CRAY these days — nothing surprises me anymore. From super-long to covered in fur, these are the craziest nail trends that are out there right now.

1. Fur Nails: Jan Arnold, style director and co-founder of CND nail polish, sent models down the runway at the Libertine fall/winter 2016 show with legit faux fur on their nails. ​Because she's fancy like that.

2. Cable-Knit Nails: This nail art makes you feel all cozy. To recreate a similar look, use this how-to.

3. Coffin Nails: Kylie Jenner made these long, skinnier-at-the-tips with a boxy-edge famous, and then everyone else followed suit. Everyone also soon realized what you can't do with long AF nails, which is everything

4. Icicle Nails: This Frozen-inspired look is created by frosting your nails with sparkling silvers, icy cool blues, and a sprinkle of snowflakes for a fierce ice queen look.​

5. Cookie Nails: I'm talking actually cookie-shaped nail art that was seen backstage at The Blonds fall 2016 runway show.

6. Shattered Glass Nails: This nail art looks a lot harder to recreate than it is. All you need to do is cut tiny pieces of cellophane, paint your nails with a basecoat, lay the cellophane on top of it, and then seal it with a topcoat.

8. Bubble Nails: This curved nail look can be achieved by building up acrylic in the center of the nail and thinning it out around the edges to create the round shape​.

9. Mirror Nails: This futuristic mani leaves a chrome finish behind that's so shiny you can basically redo your lipstick while looking into them.

10. Cuticle Nail Art: The least cute part of your nail — your cuticle — is now getting some play when it comes to getting glam. May I present to you cuticle nail art:
