Tokyo-nail-ary

We have all come across a woman with impossibly long nails at least once in our lives and wondered, “how that heck does she function with those things?” Whereas extravagant nail design and extraordinarily long false nails are often considered a tacky hood trend in this neck of the woods, it turns out that in Tokyo they call it art!

On Monday Tokyo hosted a huge Nail Expo, boasting over 50,000 attendees, all hoping to catch a glimpse of the amazing nail designs on display by the events manicure masters.  Check out photos of the nail art that was submitted for the Nail Queen 2009 Awards Ceremony in the gallery below. Somehow, I feel as though I’ve already seen many of these designs on the display board at the local round-the-way-nail shop and called them ghetto, but hey…art it is.

So what do you think, hot or not?

    it’s mos definitely art!!!!! I always thought it was art on people even if it looked “tacky” or “ghetto” to many. The only reason i never got into gettn my own nails done regularly especially as dramatic as those above is because i never thought i could do much with all that s**t on my hands. But asians are the ones who usually do peoples nails and bring designs in ones head to life on your nails why wouldn’t you see that asian as doin art?, so for the writer to imply as if it was just a black thing and is just now considering it art cus the asians have shows for it, is kinda ignorant becuase it always been this way. Art is art…now would i rock them…ummm prolly not
