Everybody knows what Japanese nail-art is - crazy crazy bright and overloaded nails, very funky and noticeable. I want to introduce you to the Russian Nail-art. Oh yeah - nail industry in Russia is really huge, even if compare to the US. But where are some things that really distinguish Russian nail-art from the Japanese or American.

Russian Nail ArtFirst of all, Fake nails are really popular in Russia. People get faked nails even if their own nails strong and have a good shape. Because fake nails are kind of pricey, it became some kind of status thing,like expensive cell phone or jewelery.

Another interesting fact about Russian nails - is shape. this sharp shape that i call "tiger nails" have been around and very popular for last several years.

All those pictures i took from the Russian forum of professional nail masters, those are not contest works - in contrast those real clients nails. So this is something people do not just for pictures, but they really wears nails like this. And it does not wonder me at all, because i have seen stuff like this around a lot.

Unlike in japan - tech stuff is hard to get and expensive in Russia. You cant even get stuff from eBay if you live in Russia ,where is no such a thing as e-commerce and post works really bad. (It is a banking system issue, most people don't use credit cards, and Russian business cant have a online payment systems, because visa don't want to deal with them) Good example is Fimo clay or Konad - most nail masters did not even herd of it, seriously! Those difficulties, i believe, lead to the great imagination and talent development, and i am just amazed of how talented those Russian masters and by the amazing nails they do.So couldn't help to share some pictures with you.
