This Hee Jin Kang 'MANicures' photo spread provides an alternate take on classic nail enhancements. Who said mani/pedis were just for the ladies? After all, these nail beautifiers are called MANicures.
With that in mind, artist Hee Jin Kang adds some color to men’s digits and places them in usual “manly” situations. Whether it be proposing or cooking or even ripping out a condom, these men are fronting their gorgeous manicures while showing off their body hair. HOT!
