Protruding Manicure Art

KayleighOC Transforms Fingernails into Fabulous Creations

— June 18, 2012 — Fashion
Perhaps not the best thing to invest in if you're a professional typist, these fingernail designs by DeviantArt artist KayleighOC are a perfect way to display your love for your favorite pop culture icon.

KayleighOC's creations are an delightful combination of complementary color tones and intricate character designs. A great way to deter you from chewing your nails, these designs are perfect for costume parties, movie marathons and days when painting your nails just seems like the only thing to do.

While fingernail art is predominately associated with feminine interests, I would not be averse to decorating my hand with a Batman-themed manicure for the upcoming film Rise of the Dark Knight. If these designs pique your interest you may want to invest in a glass hand case to protect your fabulous nails.
Trend Themes
1. Fingernail Artistry - Opportunities for further developing creative designs and techniques for manicures and pedicures, targeting a wider audience and demographic.
2. Pop Culture-driven Nails - An opportunity to tap into the growing interest of pop culture themed merchandise and extend it into the realm of personal grooming and self-expression.
3. Protective Nail Cases - Opportunities for creating customized, specialized protective cases for manicured nails, to ensure longevity and avoid accidental damage.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Personal Care - Innovation opportunities abound for brands and entrepreneurs in the beauty industry around creating more imaginative and personalized manicure and pedicure designs.
2. Entertainment Merchandise - Brands involved in the production and marketing of entertainment merchandise can enhance their demographic reach by extending into beauty, specifically nail artistry inspired by the popular characters and franchises they represent.
3. Consumer Product Packaging - Packaging companies can create specialized protective cases for manicured nails that are durable, convenient, and attractive, effectively targeting the high-end manicure and pedicure salon market.
