Kawaii My Melody embellished nail oil bottle
By Olga Davydova
Posted 5 September, 2007 in Kawaii, Beauty
It had never occurred to me that a simple bottle of nail oil could be turned into a work of art, until I saw a photo of this creatively embellished bottle at aminail, a Japanese blog about nail design.
The detailed decorations on the bottle, featuring Sanrio’s cute bunny character My Melody, are made of crystals and acrylic sculpture powder, the same as used in 3D nail design in manicure salons all over the world.
There’s a whole trend in Japan for embellishing everyday items, such as pens, hair clips, plastic jewelry and even cell phones with acrylic nail products.
Please watch this space for more info and even instructions, as I’ll try to gather some tips and knowledge from Japanese nail art books and magazines to share with you. However, keep in mind that nail products can severely damage plastic.

Quinn, no, it’s not my creation (though I wish it were). I found it on a Japanese blog about nail design.
Wendy, thanks

I wish I could find out where to purchase the different acrylic/ceramic flowers and Hello Kitty characters that she uses in her art on that blog. =( I’ve scoured everywhere from eBay to Japanese sites and haven’t found anything.

Thanks for the comment Rachel, she moulds the flowers and Hello Kitty herself out of acrylic paste. She mixes the paste herself too, out of acrylic powder. I’ve got a how-to book about this kind of designs for nails and even for cell phones, mirrors, trinket boxes and other stuff, but the book is in Japanese.
