I absolutely LOVE Japanese nail art!!! I mean, it’s not for everyone, but considering that my personal style is rather basic, having some funky, crazy designs on my nails (a place so small compared to the rest of my body). They’re so intricate and fun. Perhaps not practical, but if you can’t make art, you can wear it!

“Black girls been doin’ this for years…and now all of a sudden instead of “ghetto” it’s “trendy.” Puh-lease”.

I second that.
I was at work one day, describing some of the nail designs my friends and I used to get in high school, and noses were turned up and it was thought of as “ghetto”.

A few weeks later, when a similar story about the Japanese women doing it now, appeared on wgsn.com…. the article was circled around the department and called “amazing”!

Double standard, anyone?

NO & YES;

I THINK THESE NAILS SHOULD STAY IN THE “KAWAII” CATEGORY WHERE HARAJUKU’S & OR UNIQUE PEOPLE CAN PULL THIS OFF.

IT’S NOT AN EVERY DAY TREND FOR THE DULL OR GRETTO FABCULOUS

There is nothing better than Japanese nail art! i love it so much. I do admit that some designs are not my style, and over the top, but over all, they are so much fun to look at. I am traveling 7hrs away just to go to a salon that does this! :)

Bury it! Dating japanese girl, looking on internet to find anything positive to say when discussing her nail art, but coming up dry. Totally gross looking, but I have to take the nails with the girl. Why? this is the overwhelming question I have.

“if you think this *is”
Minor Typo.

But to continue. It’s rather annoying how people fond all over Japanese things, when there are plenty of interesting things within their own culture and city.

So I agree with “MJ”
How is having graphic nails, all of a sudden “Trendy” and “Japanese”. When it has been done, and still continues to be done?!

Give some credit where it’s due.

You guys haven’t been around much if you think this Japanese exclusive.
Black Americans and Koreans have been doing this for years.
