NAILPRO Behind the February 2016 Cover: Money Manicure

For the February 2016 cover of NAILPRO, nail artist Britney Tokyo imparted her uniquely edgy aesthetic to this set of nails resulting in a cool and kitschy creation. The acrylic tip overlays were topped with a layering of temporary money pattern “nail tattoos” in collage design. Then, Tokyo piled the nails high with custom-created 3-D embellishments in the form of sparkling ruby hearts and glittery monetary symbols: the dollar, Euro and Yen. While the end result might be a little avant garde for your (or your clients’) taste, it doesn’t mean that you can’t adopt elements into your own work. Plus, they make for amazing eye candy!
