# Miniature Garden Fingernails The Alice Barlett 'Manicured Lawns' Series is Seriously Cute By Shiori Mine | Published 2012-07-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alice-barlett-manicured-lawns References: [laughingsquid](http://laughingsquid.com/manicured-fingernail-lawns) & [flickr](http://www.flickr.com/photos/alicebartlett/) The Alice Barlett 'Manicured Lawns' photography series is a whimsical take on the phrase "the grass is always greener on the other side" -- or in this case, the other thumb. The [miniature figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji) are perched peacefully on the lawn-laced nails of this imaginative photographer. Decked out in a freshly cut, manicured lawn, the storybook characters are captured in mundane moments. Playing with scale and up-close captures, photographer Alice Barlett creates unimaginable scenes that captivate appreciating onlookers. [Illusionistic nail art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artinails) is all the rage this season and beauty mavens would get a real kick out of this far-out fictional series. You can certainly make the claim you have a mean green thumb with this offbeat manicure. Looking like something straight out of [Alice in Wonderland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alices-adventures-collection), the Alice Barlett Manicured Lawns series is full of delightful details and sweet snapshots. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Illusionistic Nail Art:** Creating miniature garden scenes on fingernails presents an opportunity for innovative and whimsical nail art designs. - **Playing with Scale in Photography:** Alice Barlett's Manicured Lawns series demonstrates the potential for artistic expression through unique perspectives and scaled-down environments. - **Miniature Figurines as Decor:** The use of miniature figurines and scaled-down objects presents a playful and imaginative opportunity for home decor design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Personal Care:** The trend towards creative nail art provides opportunities for companies to develop innovative products and services in the beauty industry. - **Photography:** There is potential for photographers to specialize in miniature photography and unique perspectives, providing opportunities to differentiate themselves within the industry. - **Home Decor:** The use of miniature figurines and scaled-down objects provides a new avenue for designers to explore in the development of imaginative and playful home decor products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lifestyle-Inspired Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-collections.md) - [Crime-Inspired Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aprs-x-liquid-death.md) - [Witchy Nail Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-x-wicked-for-good.md) - [Fast Food-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nails-inc-x-mcdonalds.md) - [Water-Less Minimal Design Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/botnica.md) - [Citrus-Inspired Press-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumo-citrus-x-chillhouse.md) - [Book-Inspired Nail Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colleen-hoover.md) - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md) - [Iced Tea-Inspired Manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arizona-x-impress.md)
