# Modular LEGO Manicures This Nail Art Design Incorporates Colorful Toy Brick Pieces as Accessories By M | Published 2015-09-16 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-art-design References: [mentalfloss](http://mentalfloss.com/article/68559/lego-nail-art-lets-you-flaunt-your-architectural-prowess) & [dorithegiant](http://www.dorithegiant.com/) Giving a three dimensional aesthetic to traditional nail art designs is talented artist Dorota Pankowska that has created a manicure out of colorful [LEGO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-art-building-set) bricks. The end result is creatively modular offering an unusual and avant-garde look to traditional nail designs. Often nail art incorporates elements such as technicolor polishes, bold stencils and even gemstones, but rarely does it look to toy bricks for inspiration. Pankowska creatively diverged from the conventional by using turquoise green nail polish adorned with matching [mini LEGO bricks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-my-world). Thanks to the stackable design of the bricks, Pankowska was able to add other LEGO accessories such as plastic LEGO flowers and even a LEGO figurine of Patrick Starr from [SpongeBob Square Pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-squidward). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Three-dimensional Nail Art:** The trend of incorporating three-dimensional elements into nail art designs offers opportunities for creative and avant-garde manicures. - **Unconventional Nail Inspirations:** Exploring unique sources of inspiration such as toy bricks opens up possibilities for innovative and unexpected nail designs. - **Modular Nail Accessories:** The use of stackable and interchangeable accessories like LEGO bricks allows for customizable and playful manicure creations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beauty and Cosmetics:** The beauty industry can take inspiration from three-dimensional nail art and develop new products and techniques for avant-garde manicures. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The fashion industry can explore unconventional sources of inspiration like toy bricks to create unique and eye-catching accessories, including nails. - **Toy and Hobby:** The toy industry can capitalize on the trend of modular nail accessories by partnering with nail art brands to offer LEGO-inspired manicure kits and sets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Nail Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modul.md) - [Puzzle Cube-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orly-x-rubiks.md) - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md) - [Contemporary Art Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-art-building-set.md) - [Artist-Inspired Flower Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belgiandesigner.md) - [Abstract Art Block-Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/31210-modern-art-set.md) - [DIY Nail Art Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-nailbot.md) - [Fast Food-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nails-inc-x-mcdonalds.md) - [Brick-Inspired Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brick-clog1.md)
