The ads are the first of their kind and the results are truly remarkable. The nail art took 25 days and nights to complete, with two hours of painting per nail, and 1,200 bottles of nail polish used. The target audience for the Kia Stop-Motion Ads is surely trendy city gals who are looking to get a small, practical and stylish car. Judging by the Kia Stop-Motion Ads in the form of adorable animated nail art, the Picanto is all of those things. The [mini animated film](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relax-we-care) was designed by a group of very talented manicurists who spent almost a month working on the project. While not much information is presented about the car itself, the commercial sure is fun to watch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/commercials) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Stop-motion Advertising:** Seize the opportunity to create captivating and innovative stop-motion ads to engage target audiences. - **Animated Nail Art:** Explore the potential of using animated nail art as a unique and attention-grabbing form of advertising. - **Collaborative Creative Projects:** Leverage the power of collaboration between different industries, such as automotive and beauty, to create exciting and unconventional marketing campaigns. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Find new ways to showcase vehicles and reach potential customers through creative and unconventional advertising techniques. - **Beauty:** Tap into the growing trend of incorporating nail art into marketing strategies to attract and engage audiences. - **Advertising:** Embrace the use of innovative techniques, like stop-motion animation, to create memorable and impactful ad campaigns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Haute Auto Pattern Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-car-couture.md) - [New Year-Focused Car Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2027-telluride-suv.md) - [Smart At-Home Nail Salons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-home-nail-salon.md) - [Unconventional Vehicle Control Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-of-joy.md) - [30-Second Nail Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/30-sec-nails.md) - [Sneaker Tag-Inspired Car Keys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kicks-key.md) - [AI-Powered Nail Art Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-art-machine.md) - [Humorous Automotive Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/where-have-you-been.md) - [Artistically Rendered One-Of-A-Kind Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romero-britto.md)
