This cluster of fingernail innovations has some of the most interesting embellishments for your hands, from nail sticker vending machines, to scented nail polish for deliciously aromatic digits.
For those unafraid to go over the top, there are things like rhinestone embellishments or laser etched fingernails (ouch!). Check them out in the slideshow below.
Implications - Cosmetics and fashion no longer exist as a simple way to make a girl look pretty; instead, make up and personal adornment is seen as a form of self expression that fashionistas find fun. Thus, consumers, makeup artists and designers are getting much more creative with their work, making fingernails more fancy and colors more bright.
