Neat Video Game Inspired Nail Art

A growing fad in today's beauty culture is decorative nail art. Mix that with video games and you can get some really cool manicures.

This nail art is done by Brush Me Blush. This nail art piece features not one game, but four.

• Index finger: Doodle Jump
• Middle Finger: Super Mario Bros.
• Ring Finger: Pac-Man
• Pinky Finger: Cut the Rope

Chalkboard Nails did a fabulous job with this nail art inspired by the game Mario Party.

• Thumb: Bowser
• Index Finger: Luigi
• Middle Finger: Mario
• Ring Finger: Princess Peach
• Pinky Finger: Toad

Some nail artists use acrylic paint to achieve their designs, but Chalkboard Nails claims that this nail art was completed only using polish. Very impressive.

Nailzilla designed a manicure designed off of Pokemon. The design is comprised of pokeballs with an accent nail of Pikachu. This manicure was accomplished using nail polish, tape, dotting tools, and a black nail art pen.

This nail art took me way back in the day. Polish Art Addiction came up with an adorable manicure designed around Kirby. The pretty sparkles are offset with the yellow accent nail featuring Kirby while the nail displays the wand and stars.

Bring on the Sega! Racho's Nail Love found inspiration for her manicure in Sonic the Hedgehog and his ever popular rings. This manicure was designed for a Comic-Con Geek Week challenge.

The Legend of Zelda can be traced back to early days making this nail art both modern as well as retro. The designer of this manicure is Silly Nails.

Delight in Nails brought her love of Minecraft to her manicure.

Another jewel found at Delight in Nails, is this gorgeous Skyrim inspired nail art. This is one I truly wish I could imitate. Each of the five nails features a different aspect of Skyrim.

What nail art would be complete without focusing on a console? This PlayStation inspired nail art is by The Nailasaurus. The thumb nail features the PlayStation logo while the other four fingers are the controller buttons.

The Xbox can also be a source of inspiration for a manicure. This nail art was designed by Just Me... And Some Polish.

When it's over, it's over...until you restart the game. This nail art by The Holy Grail of Nails was inspired by her guy's love of gaming.
