Y THO!

Another day, another bonkers nail trend that makes you really worry for humanity. The latest in freaky manicures comes in the form of colouring pencil nails. Oh, I am dead serious. https://www.instagram.com/p/Blfs5R_nYJw/?utm_source=ig_embed And while they are SO impractical and kind of weird, they're also wicked impressive. Instagram user @nail_sunny created the manicure that's colourful and totally bonkers. The nail salon, which is based in Russia, posted a video on how the look was achieved. https://www.instagram.com/p/BlVs-6OBBrx/?taken-by=nail_sunny And in a shocking turn of events, I learned that ACTUAL colouring pencils were used. Which means that the nails can actually be used to write, and colour. So that's a practical use I guess. An acrylic base was used, with intricate nail art added after - and then came the pencils. https://www.instagram.com/p/BjXSwBineur/?taken-by=nail_sunny The nail artist that created this look is no stranger to crazy nail art. A few months ago she designed royal wedding nails. Oh, she was also responsible for those violent nails that looked like teeth. I'll stick to a shellac for now...
