Lately I've noticed that all my favourite fashion blogs have been going crazy for nail varnish. Obviously, there is a colour or two that we're attracted to each season and of course there are the classics (I'm thinking Chanel's Rouge Noir here!) but this summer everyone seems to be hopping on the nail varnish bandwagon in a big way.
And while I love the leopard print on Clare and Gem and desperately want to steal Ellie's gorgeous Barry M nail varnish in Berry Ice Cream, THIS is the design that is really appealing to me.
These amazing zipper nails were created by Laura Sofia Koski, a Helsinki mega babe who obviously has a great eye for an eye-catching design. I love how tough and edgy these are. I'm definitely not dextorous to give myself leopard print nails, but perhaps with some fake nails, black nail varnish, zippers and superglue I could give it a go myself. It's a shame that Finland is just a bit too far to go for a manicure!
I'd be afraid of getting them caught and ruining them, I think. I have terrible nail varnish karma.

Those are really cool but they'd catch on EVERYTHING.
I've always admired people who can do nails. I can only just manage to paint mine without smudging!

a truly interesting way to look at some thing that most people find difficult to comprehend. Before this post, I never quite envisaged that this is how things go.

Totally agree with Chanel rouge noir being a classic, i always seem to return to it, definitely a favourite!
Love these zipper nails, although they'd be a pretty stumpy looking zip on my mine ;)

I love ,love, love those nails, though I get the feeling that opening cans of Coke would be a thing of the past!

That! Is! Hot!!!! Love it. Funny, I was supposed to go to Finland a few years ago but I got sick in Stockholm and couldn't complete the last leg of my Scandinavian adventure.

Wow, these are so impressive! Talk about statement nails. Great to look at but I'm sure I'd ruin them instantly. xoxo
