Claws used to come in three colors. Red, red and red. Oh, and let's not ignore people from france guidelines. Over modern times, however, claw art is growing, and has become a fully-fledged market within the globe of design, as topic to periodic styles as outfit silhouettes and rearfoot forms. From awkward to unique, nails have modified into yet another place where we can discover individual design as well as try our arms (sorry) at something that we might experience is a bit too 'out there' for an whole look.

Whereas previously the latest hot patterns and prints were confined to the catwalk or your handbag, now it's just as cool to have them lacquered at your fingertips. Increasingly, nail art has become a thrifty and creative way to pay homage to your favorite designers by taking inspiration from their most visually famous pieces and translating them via nailbrush and buffer. Leopard spots, aztec inspired prints, even the galaxy - thanks to Christopher Kane - is no longer out of reach for those of us who want to have a little more authenticity than a fast fashion knockoff.

Wah Nails have been the biggest influence on how nail art has taken off in the UK. Whilst the Kawaii craze has been going on for years in Asia, it wasn't until 2009 in London when Sharmadean Reid opened the doors of her nail salon and opened up peoples' eyes to the possibilities that nail paint can bring. Born from a hip-hop community with feminist values at its core, Wah Nails revolutionised the way in which the fashion world thought about nails, forcing it to acknowledge its potential and the creativity that can be fostered within it.

Now the organization has a division at Topshop's leading shop on Oxford Road, and its impact can be seen everywhere from the driveway to superstars like Katy Perry and Woman Crazy, and to the items that organizations such as Robert M and Model's Own now make. New technological innovation is being researched such as destroy impact and pebble claw paint; flat colors are becoming more popular, versus the traditional glow. It's also becoming simpler and simpler to understand how to do the consequences yourself, with on the internet lessons training us how to use everyday items such as mixture stays and sponges to accomplish that high-fashion look.

Where once spiky red talons were de rigueur, the world is now your oyster (although as we speak, spikes are making a terrifying comeback - see Amber Rose and Rihanna). It might seem intimidating and difficult at first, so start out simple. Try a nude, or 'greige' shade which will complement most outfits. If you're feeling a bit more daring, opt for pastels or brights, and always remember a base and top coat so as to stop discolouring and protect your varnish from chips and scratches that result from daily wear and tear. Remember, nail art is about having fun first and foremost!
