These futuristic nails are here to stay
South Korean nail artist Eunkyung Park’s version of spacey nails feature a thin piece of metal that is molded onto the nail’s cuticles and extended for a “caged” look, according to Byrdie. The nail artist also takes metal beyond the boundaries of the nail so that it almost looks like it could be an additional topping layer for ring bling.
When speaking about Pierre Cardin’s ’60s “retro-futurism style,” Charlotte Casey, senior strategist at trend-forecasting agency WGSN, told Fashionista, “While not exclusively utopian, retro-futurism is remembered primarily for its optimistic mood that fused modernist concepts of scientific progress and technology with elements of pop culture and a playful science-fiction aesthetic.” This metal nail trend, with its silver “caged” style, most definitely conjures feelings of the space age and the future. In the closer, more modern landscape of land of TikTok, automated manicures are also making strides; user Elissa Maercklein posted a video of the robot manicure she got for $8 in San Francisco. The future is here — get ready and get your nails done.
