Toe Meme Makeovers

The Nyan Cat Pedicure is Vibrant & Purrfectly Painted

— July 1, 2011 — Pop Culture
Clothing, food, games and blogs have all been obsessed with this popular Internet meme and now it is no surprise that a Nyan Cat pedicure has surfaced. This Nyan Cat pedicure features the little kitty in miniature form on the big toe, alongside four toes painted in a rainbow print.

The detailing is expertly done on these toes so that the right foot perfectly matches the left. The 'Poptart' body of Nyan has even been painted with little sprinkle specs. The Nyan Cat pedicure, although adorable, might be a challenging one to maintain.

Implications - While it may be futile for a business to try and have a popular product or item replaced, it would be beneficial to expand or alter the product. A well-known product that can be accessed in an alternative version, form, or method will certainly appeal to a large clientele. Drawing from popular Internet memes is a way to instantly gain recognition from consumers.
Trend Themes
1. Internet Meme-inspired Pedicures - There is potential for salons and nail polish brands to create more pedicure designs inspired by popular Internet memes, which could attract younger consumers looking for unique and trendy nail art.
2. Expertly Detailed Nail Art - With the growing popularity of elaborate and intricate nail designs, there is demand for skilled nail artists who can create detailed and realistic depictions of various characters or objects on clients' nails.
3. Humorous Beauty Trends - Humorous and playful beauty trends, such as the Nyan Cat pedicure, have the potential to attract consumers who are looking to add some fun and quirkiness to their beauty routines.
Industry Implications
1. Salons & Spas - Salons and spas can capitalize on the popularity of unique and trendy nail art by offering a variety of Internet meme-inspired designs as part of their services.
2. Nail Polish Brands - Nail polish brands can partner with popular Internet memes to create limited edition nail polishes or nail art sets, which can generate buzz and attract new customers.
3. Beauty Influencers - Beauty influencers can create content that showcases humorous and playful beauty trends, such as the Nyan Cat pedicure, which can help to introduce these trends to their followers and create demand.
