One of The Garb Wire's beloved fashion snipers sent in a photo of an interesting piece of jewellery by Austrian designer, Anne-Marie Herckes. He sent it with the caption, "Oh.", while her caption reads: "the essential MJ collection on a brooch" and the website opens with the following statement: The smaller the pieces you do, the quicker you can react to
real life goings-on.
I feel at this point that it's important to thank Anne-Marie, firstly for her cutting edge and very timely craft, but secondly for prompting me to do a search on "Michael Jackson nails". I thought there'd be no way. But there is a way.
There are nails for every occasion. Every current affair. Any ordinary affair.
Just six months after my first initiation into the burgeoning nail art movement, I'm still fascinated by the genre, which, between you and me, feels a little like someone signed up for a cake decorating class, and stumbled instead, into next door's nail art course.
Forget cool hunting, here is cool nail art hunting...
Mourning Nails
What do you do if the King of Pop passes? Why, you pay tribute with a themed manicure, that's what. Respect. Some people cry, some make useless brooches, a few might play his music to remember, but you choose to remember him with your fingernails. And comfort will come, in time for you. It will.
Nails for Adults
Bite that cherry (or plum) and file those nails til they're surfboards! These nails are perfect for times when you just need to succumb to the sinful fruit, forget about tomorrow (work) and its consequences (and/or bacon).
It's a Nail Symphony!
How anyone could have an entire orchestra on her hands is beyond me... and the weight of it...is that arm really far away, or...is that a double bass at the front of the shot?
WAG Nails
It's what every girl dreams of... isn't it? To have a string of cubic zirconias across the hand. With fingers interlocked, this princess wishes for her handsome Prince of Swarovski, and his little brother, the Baron of Clear Acrylica.
I wanna have a word to the stylist. Tiger print 'tard, fishnet gloves, gold rings and that butterfly piercing. That butterfly piercing... can't even see the nails in this one, but sure can see the rest of it! B.A. Branding
There is Above The Line, and Below The Line marketing, but here we have Below Average Branding, where someone in the very general public has chosen to put some of the world's (USAs) most loved junk food brands on her nails. How genius! How very fattening.... all styled on a Cheetos packet. Yes, I know, genius. Some food for your nail thoughts.
What are your nail fantasies?
In fashion,
