Zipper Nails

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

— July 28, 2010 — Fashion
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.
