Seiyuus' Nail Art


Seiyuu blogs have a number of common subjects. Food is the most common: sushi, curry, desserts, coffee, beer, cookies, etc., etc.

Of course, publicizing new work is the whole point of the exercise, so that's there, too. But trips to the hairdresser, and new outfits also loom large.

However, a very common subject for blog posts is new nails.

Seiyuu often seem to be showing us photos of their new nails. Search Google images for ネイル (the Japanese for "nails") and you'll see many different styles. Or check this blog of a Japanese nail salon that has served at least one seiyuu.

Just today, Koshimizu Ami (below, left) and Sanpei Yuuko both posted pics of their new nails. Now, tell me they don't live together, lol. At least they help each other figure out how to keep up the posting rate on their blogs. Ami says she made one finger brown like the chocolate Japanese girls give on Valentine's Day. I like Yuuko's shorter nails.



Anyway, here is a wall of images of the nails of various seiyuu that I happen to have found in their blogs.
Mouseover to find out whose nails are whose in hashihime post not in BW

This is a trend in Japan which is very popular. I see it in J-drama and many talk show before... Sometimes it looks nice to me and sometimes not. Seriously, they sure spends a lot of money to have a set of collection like that. Its like buying a figurine, but in this case.... its nail....

[dingmajiao]

yeah.. kind of.. but seriously, i dun really like them as much..

but i liked this one that was done on aya's nail..


really really cute..

[Arczanpakutou]

I hope Aya-san use the shorter nail... Long nail looks disgusting although its coloured. Thats my opinion...

[dingmajiao]

i'm neither a fan of long nails as well.. but i liked it because the design was cute..

[Arczanpakutou]

Lol, I hope the one she use now is more 'kirakira'. I mean got glitter on top of it. It should be more cuter!!!

[dingmajiao]

personally i hate kira kira nails.. lol..

i find it ugly.. LOL.. no idea why..

[Arczanpakutou]

In my opinion, it depends on colour. If the nail colour is gold, sure looks good.

Yeah everybody have their own opinion in this

Long nails are generally disgusting for me, though in some cases they're ok, cute even. Some of them here.
