These Poké-nails are on point!
The popularity of Pokémon GO has led to an explosion of Pokémon memes and an increase in searches for Pokémon porn, but one other area it’s also provided some inspiration is the fashion world.
Recently Japanese women (and women from the rest of the world too) have been posting pictures of their Pokémon painted nails online, and we have some of the best ones here to show you.

If you’re a nail artist with pictures of your own to share, be sure to post some under the Japanese and English hashtags.
And if you feel like going the extra mile, just combine the nail designs with some Pokémon eye makeup and casual Pokémon cosplay, and you too can be a Pokémon master… of fashion!
