Alien-Inspired Fingernails

Kayleigh O'Connor's E.T. 3D Nail Art is Out of This World

The E.T. 3D Nail Art is utterly eerie. Although it does look like an accurate replication of the original 1982 Steven Spielberg film, at first glance it could easily be mistaken for a creepy glow worm. This is especially the case since it appears to be balancing on the tip of the person's nail rather than becoming a part of it.

Created by extraordinary fingernail artist Kayleigh O'Connor, the E.T. 3D Nail Art was conceived after quickly thinking about what to do with some leftover materials from another nail design. Even she admits that it is the weirdest creation she has tried. But it looks like O'Connor will be having some fun, stating, "I'll be going around trying to revive dead plants and touching strangers with it."
