We've definitely called nail art "sweet" in the past, but this masterpiece by YouTube vlogger Jessie of Nailed It NZ interpreted that term more literally. Using chocolate icing, she whipped up a clever — albeit sticky — claw confection. She even stuck dragées (those silver spherical candy accents) on top to add more flair to the look.

Before you become incensed that someone would even pawn off this design as worth trying, take a breath: Jessie prefaces the video with the statement that "this is just a bit of fun." (And hey, if you're prone to biting your nails or sucking your thumb, adding a bit of frosting to them might slow you down.) Watch the DIY to see how the tasty talons are created.
