the most intense nails i’ve ever seen!

Alright femmes, i know my last blog about manicure trends went over really well! Lots of folks had opinions about it, and I think that the general consensus was that “no”  paying money to get your nails done with intentional chips is not a look most femmes are into getting behind.

This morning I came across another facebook post this morning from Sahara Dunes whose the media co-chair for next year’s Femmes of Color Symposium in New Oreleans. When I followed the link, I knew that it was something  i simply had to share with you!

Bella Sugar recently posted a roundup of impressive nail art. I’m not one for fake nails—haven’t worn them since 7th grade, but I know lots of femmes who do, a fiend of mine was even looking into learning how to do this sort of nail art sculpting a few years ago—this reminds me I should check back with her on that and see if she’s made anything cool yet!  Anyway, the nails in that post were super  fun to look at, even if not something I would wear!

They go from the super outlandish:

to ones more on the tame side and along the lines of stuff i see pretty regularly here in NYC– like this zebra stripped with hot pink and jewls set

So what about you, would you wear thse? do you wear fake nails? Which design is your favorite?
