Ridiculous (And Almost Scary) Nail Art
I am all for hygiene and taking care of one's nails. Cutting, filing, buffing and painting are not foreign acts to me. But that's where I draw the line. The people below took it one (or sometimes three) steps further and turned their nails into canvases. From binary code and comic book heroes to Disney characters and gambling, these people turned their nails into works of art.
Because you know you want to.
This woman etched portraits onto her finger nails. A small part of me is impressed, but the rest is majorly freaked out.
How does she get her rings on and off with those nails?
I could see these on Barbie.
Salon Excursion
458 W Ontario St. Chicago, IL 60610
Salon Excursion has been known to give some pretty incredible massages during their manicures and pedicures. I don’t know about you, but a hand massage is one of the most relaxing things in the world.
I don't know why...
but these feel pretty Disney to me. I see Princess Jasmin and The Little Mermaid all rolled into this clusterfuck of nail art.
Essential Nail Spa
2104 N Clark Street Chicago, IL 60614
Essential Nail Spa has a really friendly and talkative staff, which I love. I hate sitting there while the nail technicians go off and have their own conversation. I’m here – include me! The people at Essential do a great job of that.
For when you're in Vegas
Are you feeling lucky? Maybe these will better your chances.
CiCi Nails
3323 N Lincoln Ave Chicago, IL 60657
I have yet to try CiCi’s, but from the reviews I’ve read it looks like a great place with a very friendly staff.
I am NOT okay with this! It looks like something out of Ursula’s lair in The Little Mermaid.
Those kind of look like weapons. Colorful feminine weapons.
Think her eyelashes are competing with her nails?
At what point do you say eff it and cut them? How does she function with those nails? I’d poke an eye out just trying to eat a cookie. And the Utah Jazz? Really?
Why?!
How do you think she tucked her shirt into her pants?
Geeks get their nails done, too!
It’s important that our nails look good as we type away at our desks or while beating our friends at Mario Kart.
Binary Nails
But what does it mean!?
Comic Book Art
This is actually quite impressive. She used tiny brushes to paint Red Tornado, Spiderman, Human Torch and Deadpool on her nails. Insane.
Oh, but there's more!

Nail Boutique
2142 W Division St. Chicago, IL 60622
A neck and shoulder massage during a manicure? Yes please!
What about Fanta?
I think she needs some orange in there.
Definitely Disney
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is great in book form, even on TV, but on someone’s nails? No. Although, I do love the Grumpy appears to be on her middle finger. Coincidence?

Olympic Nail Art
Olympic Nail Art. I have no idea what this has to do with the Olympics, but it’s kind of cute. I’m not a fan of the shape of the nails, or the white background, but if those little guys had action figures I’d own them.
Mr. President
It’s hard to tell in this picture, but her nails spell out Obama, starting on her thumb. Obama Nail Art
I hope she doesn't pick her nose with that finger
More Obama nail art.
Toes too!
No, no, no, no.
