Like so many nervous nellies, 24-year-old Media student Kayleigh O\u2019Connor would routinely chew her fingernails almost to the bone. \u201cI bit [them] so badly that they looked like something out of a horror film,” she says on her DeviantArt page<\/a>. To compensate, the Birmingham-born nail-biter glues on false nails, but not the kind you can buy at your local pharmacy for $4.50 – they\u2019re ones which Miss O\u2019Connor skillfully sculpts and paints to create ingenious designs. These fingernails, you wouldn\u2019t wanna gnaw at them.<\/p>\n

Her designs, which are painstakingly detailed, are inspired by several different sources, from movies to television, music to arcade games, and nature to food. For some time, she would proudly display them in front of only friends and family, but now she photographs them and posts them on her blog for our viewing pleasure. Check out some of O\u2019Connor\u2019s weird and wonderful designs below, where, if you\u2019re cultured enough, you may recognise a few familiar faces.<\/p>\n
