You’ll Love This Nail Art, Your Thumbs Probably Won’t

by Susana Polo | 9:32 am, June 20th, 2012


As somebody who, among other duties, types for a living, I often find myself in the position of realizing that over the weekend my nails must have gotten a little too long because I’m making typos on every other word. I respect the work of nail artists. But mostly I’m mystified at their patience, steadiness, and willingness to hobble their fingers.

Either that, or they posses a secret supernatural ability to manipulate objects while having long nails that was denied me at birth. Judging by some of the designs that KayleighOC creates out of nail extensions, she has such an ability.

Yeah, see that direwolf mouth? Every loose thread in the universe: snagged.

Maybe I’d be better with Jack Skellington at the end of my finger bones?

At least Freddie Mercury seems to think so.

But with these nails I’d undoubtedly wind up with as many scars as Edward.

I have to admit, if I ever wanted to get into the assassination game, or at least be able to open the plastic wrap on DVD cases, I’d go with this. Even He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named hates those things.

And here’s another great solution: it’s gonna be a lot harder to get a ring off this ring finger.

Truely, Kayleigh O’Conner, your nail art has won me –

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNONAILTOAD

    I love Edward Scissorhands the best. but I don’t know how in god’s name anyone can function with those nails for at least one day… what if you have to go to the bathroom and do number 2? *shudder*

    Not to mention if something itches…as someone with a highly allergic skin, I’d rather not have direwolf bites on it. Who knows what kind of diseases they might have picked up from chewing White Walker hands and what not? 

    Great job, Miss O’Conner, they are truly works of wearable albeit slightly hindering art! Especially love the fading effect on the Deathly Hallows one.
