Japanese Nail Art

Japanese Nail Art Features Hello Kitty-Inspired Nails and More

From the land of the rising sun, exquisite, unique and quirky pieces of art can travel with ladies wherever they go—in the form of nail art, where great detail, colour and imagination goes into every nail. The Japanese are known for their creativity and precision, so that is exactly what goes into the following nail trends for 2010.


Nail designer Mayumi’s creations are quite vibrant and inventive. Attempting to capture her designs would require more than a few hours at the nail salon. While some designs dazzle the eyes with placement of little gems and glitter, others can amaze with little miniature Hello Kitty designs on every finger, each one with its own unique twist. Popular designs include a tropical fruit salad, peppermint candy, use of feathers and black sequins, and many more.
