3D Printers Now Used To Create Experimental Nail Art

It's like Medieval armor for your fingertips.

Dark Amethyst (nylon)

Just in time for NYFW, we recently came across the unique world of The Laser Girls' 3D printing press-ons. The group sells sets of 3D-printed nail art--tiny geometric sculptures (in editions) to wear on your hands--ranging from the "everyday kooky" to full on Medieval armor. Printed on a mix of nylon, metal, and other assorted materials, The Laser Girls cater to all your 3D nail needs.
