There’s been 3D nail art, nail piercings, and those uncomfortably long pointy stiletto nails that everyone had for a while - but visual illusion artist Dain Yoon has taken the whole thing five steps further by attaching long hair strands to her talons. And each one is painted with a tiny picture of her face with different expressions. It’s equal parts really weird and kind of cool - you can't knock her creativity.
Last week it was impossible to scroll through Instagram without coming across a picture of ‘braided’ eyebrows, and now @designdain’s smiling mini nail portraits and their tiny wigs are filling up the Explore page. It’s obvious she’s massively talented - the rest of her profile is full of amazing photo-real makeup looks giving herself multiple faces, blending into her furniture, and eyes on her knees - but there’s something extra creepy about a miniature grinning face with hair on the end of a nail. Her work has attracted plenty of attention online, and Yoon posted an update thanking worldwide media outlets for making her an ‘internet breaking girl’.
So: while this is a highly unlikely trend to catch on in real life (like how would you wash your hands? Make a drink? Do just about anything, let alone go to the loo?) the internet again shows how your freaky beauty looks can get you trending online.
