Thinking out of the bottle: 3D printed manicures
Who needs 3-Free when you can get 3D? (seen below in Razzle)
3D printing has offered some mind blowing creativity options, including wearable footwear and guns that actually shoot, but now the technology has rifled the runway. Enter the 3D manicure, courtesy of The Laser Girls. Currently on display at the Museum of Art and Design in New York, these bold statements are attached via adhesive, and have adorned the hands of top nail fanatics (think Beyonce, Rihanna and Katy Perry) as well as shown at several fashion shows. Because styles can get as colorful and ornate as one likes, there is almost no limit to creation.
Is this type of nail art up your alley? What would your 3D nail style be?
