3D Printed Nails
You may have seen some of my previous posts about 3D printing and the advances it is making in the world of fashion. Now I have found the next best thing; 3D Printed Manicures.
PSFK recently posted an article about a collaboration by NY based digital artists Sarah C Award and Dhemerae Ford, also known as the Laser Girls, creating 3D printed adhesive nails with patterns that could only be achieved by using 3D printing technology. I think the results are great, and I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes a commercial product, offered as a quick and cool solution for nail art enthusiasts in the future.
