Takara Tomy Arts has created a set of stick-on nails for the Internet-obsessed. Each fingernail comes equipped with an LED light that illuminates whenever a smartphone in close proximity is using WiFi.
Sound a bit extreme? Don't worry, your manicure won't be the cosmetic equivalent of an annoying, decorative disco ball. Only one nail comes equipped with the LED light, while the rest feature an identical design for continuity purposes.
This stick-on manicure is simple and easy to use, requiring no battery or alternative power sources to operate. The NFC wireless signal is sufficient in making the LED go off. To take things one step further, you can download an Android app that will allow you to customize the light show. At $12 a pop, this showy manicure is an affordable way to turn heads.
