Memory Nail
A tattoo machine integrated into a nail, enabling the direct application of tattoos onto the skin’s surface. Tattoos serve as a medium for marking the present and creating memories. This project reimagines the process of tattooing through an innovative approach transcending traditional tools. The design draws inspiration from the traditional elegance of feather pens, while the motor cover introduces contrast through a contemporary, studded texture.
Gossip Nail
A microphone nail and speaker ring that serve as communication devices with a playful twist. Inspired by microphone covers and face-mounted microphones, this project features a microphone embedded into a nail and a speaker embedded in a ring. The two pieces are designed to function either together or independently—from a nail that elevates performances and presentations to a ring that enriches the experience of listening to music.

Xtreme Long Ph
Sensing Nails
Extremely long nails that change color according to pH. Inspired by the Guinness World Record holders for the longest nails, these extraordinarily long nails, measuring approximately 20 inches, feature a color-changing property. The nails respond to changes in pH levels, shifting from pink hues in acidic solutions to blue hues in alkaline solutions.
Laser Nails
Nails elongated with lasers for pointing with style. Each nail is seamlessly integrated with a red laser, seemingly extending the length of the nails beyond the nail structures themselves. This project combines bold aesthetics with precision, striking a balance between function and flair. The sharp, pointy nail design deliberately reflects the project’s purpose to enable precise pointing.
