How to nail it, crazy 3D style. Nail art ideas that think beyond canvas into the realms of sculpture.

Tired of the same old boring nail styles and want something fun and quirky to do? Well, look no further. Thanks to Japanese culture I’ve managed to find some rather interesting 3D nail art that will definitely make those finger tips stand out. This crazy 3D nail obsession started out in Japan alongside the Harajuku and Ganguro fashion revolution, and since then has become popular with girls from all around the globe.

Barbie would kill to get her plastic hands on a pair of nails like this. Pink, glittery and decorated in silver gems, they would be fit for a hime gyaru – although I don’t think Kate Middleton would be snapped up wearing these anytime soon. So if you’re the queen of pink, these beautiful nails would work perfectly alongside your crown. I wonder how much super glue was used in the creation of this art?

There are plenty of ideas available on normal search engine like Google, of course, but if you find yourself converted to the idea of crazy 3D nails then you need to head over to YouTube!
