20 Years Later, Celebrate the Iconic Death Note with a Killer Nail Collection!

Surprise! It’s been twenty whole years since the thrilling anime adaptation of Death Note hit our screens like a shinigami dropping a notebook. Yup, Madhouse’s badass masterpiece, created by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, has transformed into a staple of the anime universe, a psychological thriller classic, and an undeniable cultural icon. Talk about timeless! This series has spent two decades winning hearts without even needing a remaster or a revival. And now, just in time for the 20th anniversary, guess what? Death Note is back, and this time, it’s got something killer to offer!

It turns out you don’t need to make a pact with a shinigami to rock some seriously fierce nails. In honor of its big 2-0, Death Note has teamed up with indie nail brand Mooncat to unleash a dreamy collection of nail lacquers that channels the show’s dark, enchanting aesthetic. The launch is on October 30, 2026, because why not add a spooky twist? These lacquer beauties are ready to shop on Mooncat’s official site (that ships both in the US and internationally!), so grab your wallets!

The nail colors are artfully inspired by the series itself, showcasing shades that look as good as the storyline feels. This collection includes nine captivating shades full of special effects, from shimmering to thermal and magnetic polishes. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s inside this nail wonderland:

• Sunset Over Tokyo: A duochrome blue and yellow shimmery shade that’ll make your friends wonder who did your nails.
• Sugarfuel Brain Calories: A sheer shimmery blue loaded with holographic sparkles and star-shaped glitter for that *wow* factor.
• Mourning Rain: A matte duochrome gray and green shade, perfect for all your moody Thursdays.
• Gods of Death Love Apples: A bright red shimmery matte that screams ‘look at me!’
• God of the New World: This thermal polish gracefully shifts from burgundy when cold to charcoal black when things heat up.
• Misa Misa: A magnetic cat-eye purple-pink that turns heads faster than Light Yagami.
• Rem’s Requiem: Light pink-lavender with a gray base – this one’s for those lovely, soft vibes.
• Ryuk Was Bored: A transformation from navy blue to sparkly silver? Yes, please.
• Shinigami Realm: Another thermal polish that morphs from dark gray to silver in the warm glow of your fingertips.

Now here comes the best part: the thermal and magnetic shades are priced at $18 each, while the other fabulous colors retail for $17. Fancy bottles with matte black caps complete the look, making these polishes feel like treasures from the world of Death Note.

For the ultimate experience, fans can snag each lacquer individually or make the leap and buy the whole limited-edition collector’s box, which comes in a stunning notebook-style box decked out like the infamous Death Note. This precious collector’s set sells for $139 and includes an exclusive sticker sheet along with a magical wand to help apply the magnetic polishes. Valued at $158, this box is a total steal and a must-have for any die-hard Death Note fanatic.

With a color palette as captivating as the series itself and witty names that shout out beloved characters, it’s clear Mooncat knows its audience. This collection isn’t just for the fans but a memorable tribute to the franchise’s enduring legacy—even in the absence of new releases over the past twenty years.
