Oh right, nail art. Nail art of…

Hmm.

Circuit Board Nail Art

by Susana Polo | 11:25 am, October 18th, 2012

Nail Pop offers no tutorial, no how to, and no explanation for these fabulous nails, so I am forced to conclude that they did it by black magic.

Just kidding, the more likely explanation is that they’re robots. I mean, look at those nails!

PBS’ Idea Channel Examines the Crafty (or Artsy) World of Nail Art [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 5:43 pm, July 6th, 2012

Just kidding, this is actually my last post. For old times’ sake. The Idea Channel, a web series from PBS, has taken an in-depth look at new developments in nail art, from the DIY styles to the downright three-dimensional. As someone who wears contacts and types all day, the most I can manage in the realm of “art” is “pretty colors,” but what kind of spangly decorations are you attaching to your fingernails these days?

Darth Vader Narrates a Tutorial on Stormtrooper Nail Art [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 1:12 pm, June 26th, 2012

Hey, are you a fan of geeky nail art? We have good news for you, especially if you have a knack (meaning you are confidently ambidextrous) for painting tiny pictures on your fingernails — Cute Polish has a tutorial up on its Youtube page on how to create a delightful (and “easy”) Stormtrooper manicure! All you’ll need is your favorite base coat, white nail polish, and a black detailing pen. And, perhaps, two bionic hands. But here is the fun part: it’s narrated by Darth Vader. And let me tell you, you have not known joy/fear until you’ve heard Darth Vader say he’s going to show you “how to paint your nails.”

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.
