• New in the Nail World: The Laser Girls

Nail art has been around for a while now, it’s nothing new. With nail bars on every corner and a WAH nails salon inside Topshop’s flagship store on Oxford Street it’s no exaggeration to say that getting your nails did has really reached the mainstream.



If you’re getting a little tired with all of the bells and whistles of a normal manicure and long for something a little more out there then the Laser Girls have got what you’re looking for.

Sarah Awad and Dhemerae Ford are the two halves who go by the seriously cool moniker of the Laser Girls. Having met at New York University when they were both working in the 3D printing lab the idea for their business blossomed.



The concept of the laser girls is to create impressively intricate false nails using 3D printing technology. Awad explained ‘We didn’t think they would work, but we were surprised, we thought they would be too thin, plus we weren’t sure about how much detail we would get.’ But the result of their work is truly impressive.

Their line features a series of designs from tactile wave designs to gothic style talons and even rings, the girls noticed a gap in the market when it came to artistic nail art; ‘I think it’s moved from high fashion into something every woman can wear’, Awad noted.



The designs start at around $35 for nylon styles up to $80 for metal designs but before you think that they’re a little pricey for a set of fake nails; they are re-usable.

They can be put on using standard nail glue and can be washed and re-applied again and again making them much more wallet friendly than a pair that can only be used once!


What do you think of the idea of 3D printed nails; is this something that you would try yourself or not really something that you’re interested in?
