Japanese nail art, blending sophisticated artistry and cuteness!
We talk with Mihori Kinoshita, a nail artist expert in everything from beauty history to the latest in global affairs. We ask Ms. Kinoshita what the characteristics of Japanese nails are.

“Nail salons began to permeate throughout Japan in the late 1980s. Nail polish was invented in 1932, and nail salons didn’t begin booming in America until the 1970s, so it certainly wasn’t off to a quick start. However, Japanese craftsmanship and manual dexterity quickly brought nail art to unsurpassed levels. As we entered the new millennium, Japan’s “cute culture” is drawing worldwide attention and creating further awareness.

Features of Japanese nails include a full array of detailed nail care, and the use of mostly soft gel. Japanese nails often use designs with big bijoux and finely-wrought artwork.”
