Today, we’re celebrating a great holiday: National Jelly Bean Day. Yes, this is a real thing. How do you observe this sweet little holiday, exactly?

Or, if you’re really a fan, you can check out these amazing jelly bean nail manicures that are perfect for the celebrations.

The history of the jelly bean begins during the Civil War. Boston-born inventor Willian Schrafft made the candy popular by urging people to send them to Union soldiers. They grew in popularity over the decades and began to be associated with Easter in the 1930s.

As a result, we now have these delicious little candies to enjoy all year around. Grab a bag of candies and check out these beautiful rainbow jelly bean manicure designs.
