The 2013 Rome 'Nailympics' Features Outlandishly Wacky Creations

The 12th annual 'Nailympics' allows people to show off their talents when it comes to nail designs.

The event, which attracts nail artists from all over the world, has featured some pretty outrageously wacky designs, from mermaid-inspired talons to terrifying galactic ombre 6 inch long nails.

The event isn't a walk in the park though, as nine judges will choose the best competitors from a series of seven categories. Categories are subdivided into titles like nail structure and shape, the application of the nail polish and artwork, right down to the shape the models cuticles are in.
