Nail Designs, Tsumabeni
This is a Nail designs. It was designed by Naomi Yasuda. It is dated 2016. Its medium is nail polish, acrylic.
Naomi Yasuda creates mesmerizing nail designs that use color as a starting point. She often tops these tiny paintings with beads and ornaments, transforming nails from flat canvases into sculptural works of art.

The designs shown here, created for Beauty—Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial, are inspired by those traditional Japanese patterns.
