These unusual nail art innovations just go to prove that gone are the days of painting your nails an exciting popping orange -- even painting each nail a different color no longer suffices. Nail art lovers and manicure enthusiasts have gotten bored with the normality of simple painted nails and pretty patterns, leading them to go overboard with the creativity.
It seems these days that anything you come up within your mind can be translated and recreated on the surfaces of your ten finger nails. 3D manicures and texture-covered cuticles are a thing and a bigthing at that.
Print on a picture of your favorite celeb or give your fiery finger nails some facial hair because anything goes with the unusual nail art innovations of today. I for one am going to miss the bland days of a simple white tipped French manicure.
