Now our correspondent will talk about a nail salon she discovered in Tokyo.

For those who want Tokyo style nails that really pop, you should check out the hugely popular Disco salon for their unique nails. They’re noted most for their fancy, artistic designs! We talk to nail artist Nagisa Kaneko for more information.

“Our goal is to create nails that bring out a person’s individuality, just like you would do with clothing. Our design sources come from American movies of the 1960s and 70s, shows featuring top clothing brands, and so on. We even get customer requests, such as asking us to draw their favorite cartoon character. We have a lot of beauticians, stylists, apparel insiders, and other customers with their fingers on the pulse of the hottest trends. We have some foreign customers as well. It makes me so happy to hear them say, ‘They don’t have salons that do this level of intricate artwork where I’m from!’”

Stop by if you want sophisticated nails that set you apart from the crowd!

We recommend The Nail Shop, nail tip specialists, for those who want something a little simpler than gel nails. They have a permanent stock of some 50 kinds of nail tips. The nail tips are designed by Aya Fukuda, who is well-known as Lady Gaga’s nail artist.

Ms. Fukuda says that “Balance is important in fashion. I think about the entire ensemble when I design.” Her designs are cool as well as stylish. While currently active in New York, she says that a common theme of fashionable people worldwide is attention to their nail tips. “Asians are especially good at intricate work though.” Their nails feature big bijoux and chains too to show off the sophisticated art and designs made possible by nail tips.

Another big appeal of nail tips is that they can be changed daily to match your mood or your fashion, just like accessories. Give a nail tip with a favorite design of celebrities worldwide a try!
