Essie launches nail polish collection to celebrate the rare blue moon

WATCH: Transform your nails this Halloween with these WEB-tastic designs

This year, Halloween will be more special than ever with the appearance of a rare blue moon.

While it is called a blue moon, the moon won't actually appear blue. The phrase refers to the time when a second full moon occurs in one month.

According to NASA, a blue moon occurs about seven times every 19 years.

To celebrate the rare occurrence, nail brand Essie has launched an out of this world collection.
