I used to think that having fake nails was a sure sign that you had finally become a slave to modern fashions, sacrificing your ability to do practical things like pick loose change up off a table, or scratch your arse without the necessity of thought.

However, having now spent several hours looking at fake nails, first in reality, then though a lens and now finally in Adobe Lightroom, I’m starting to think that actually, they’re pretty damn groovy.

The only question is, which ones should I get?

All of the nails on this page have been hand-painted by the talented folks at Shibuya’s www.cknail.jp.

More fake nails over on my Flickr account.
