Couture Nails From Japan Nail Expo

Remember when gel acrylic overlays with an airbrushed pattern were very necessary? (Or maybe that's just in my hood.) Well, if you thought your sparkle dusted, crystal studded six inch talons were saying something - think again. The Tokyo Nail Expo, which took place earlier this month, showed us all what a nail job really looks like. Apparently, sparkles and flowers won't cut it. The ladies who showed up with outrageous nail art took it to the next level with manicures that incorporated plastic bows and arrows, mini Hello Kitty dolls and melting ice cream cones. See these spectacular creations after the jump!
