Zipper Nails

Finland'S Laura Sofia Koski's Intense Manicures are Wild

Finland's Laura Sofia Koski has created some intense nail art. The zipper manicure featured on her blog 'Learning to Dance in the Rain,' consists of an all-black polish with a silver zipper on the thumb and middle finger.

Zippers go hand in hand with the dark, defiant theme in the latest avant-garde fashion collections, so it's no surprise that nail art is the next big thing to get all zipped up.

Implications - Don't accidentally unzip those nails in half though. You wouldn't want to bleed all over your beautiful hand adornments after all that effort to beautify them in such a unique manner. These quirky nails would also be useful in a bar brawl.
