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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/national-handloom-day)’ 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **City-based Nail Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborations between nail art studios and local designers to create city-themed nail art designs for various occasions and celebrations. - **Creative Manicure Designs:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Development of specialized tools and techniques for creating intricate and detailed nail art inspired by landmarks and cultural symbols. - **Celebrating Landmarks Through Nail Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partnership between nail art studios and tourism boards to promote local landmarks and tourist attractions through creative and unique nail art designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Nail Art Studios:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Expansion into specialized nail art services, offering custom designs inspired by local landmarks and cultural icons. - **Fashion and Beauty:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaboration between fashion and beauty brands to create themed collections incorporating nail art inspired by iconic landmarks. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integration of nail art services in hotel spas and tourist destinations, providing visitors with a unique souvenir and experience showcasing local landmarks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Supermarket-Inspired Nail Art Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-inspired-nail-art.md) - [AI Nail Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-designs-ai.md) - [AI Nail Designers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artinails.md) - [Customization-Friendly Nail Art Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-art-studio.md) - [30-Second Nail Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/30-sec-nails.md) - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md) - [AI-Powered Nail Art Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-art-machine.md) - [QSR-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-collection.md) - [Smart At-Home Nail Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-home-nail-salon.md)
