City-Based Nail Art

This Creative Manicure Helps Celebrate Singapore's 50th Birthday

— August 12, 2015 — Art & Design
In honor of Singapore's 50th birthday, a local nail art studio has produced a creative manicure design based on the country's most famous landmarks. The city-state has seen unprecedented growth in recent years and this has brought about the construction of a number of impressive industrial structures. The new Singapore-themed nail art pays tribute to these feats of design.

The city-based nail art was designed by the ‘School of Nail Art’ as a way of showcasing 10 of the country's most iconic landmarks. Some of these famous destinations include the Changi Airport and the Marina Bay Sands. The nail art even includes a tribute to the electronic road pricing system that dots the downtown city streets.

While the city-themed nail art may not be the most practical accessory, the manicure provides a fun way to celebrate Singapore's 50th birthday.
