I recently finished an education for a nail-technician focused on pedicure and manicure. In the future I'd also like to make nail-art. However, I rarely if ever see clients request anime themed/inspired nails (understandable, it's a relatively niche thing one would want to put on their nails and it takes longer/is more expensive than a regular one colour polish).
So I figured if I ever open my own salon/business or would offer it at a salon I'm working, I'd want to ask around what exactly would people and potential clients want.

Would you ever have anime nails? If not on your hands, then maybe toes? What anime would you pick? What kind of design? Do you find such nails pretty/cool?


(I put the toes option as well since I know many guys wouldn't be so up for having such nails on full display lol)

Also if someone in the replies wants, I could sketch them a design!

I don't do that.

Although you're going into a perhaps hard/difficult route, not only your buisness is associated with amount of clients and your quality which for a new starter the debut year is the hardest/verification, you're already going into a smaller variety, as mainly female go for that [I guess so at the very least?] and than you narrow it way more into targeting for anime fans [where I guess majority are male to begin with], which also differs for numbers based on local/national level.

Good luck with that but I ain't seeing that being succesfull if I have to be honest here.

@Zettaiken oh no I didn't mean it as JUST anime nails. Simply an idea that came to mind that I could offer such nails as an option or have an "anime week" at the salon etc. I know I wouldn't have nearly as much clients as with the usual.

Thought it would be fun for people to think of designs, even in just theory lol

@Nutella71 Ah in that case it would be fine.

No idea, I've seen a single-two clips of such stuff with Naruto Sharingan ideas [black and red]. Maybe Espada's numbers especially that there's 10 nails in total? It ain't a big area to draw on so I don't know what else could be fitting, maybe some logos of the teams like Quincy emblem, Shinigami badge, that Akame ga Kill emblem etc.

I prefer nails short and natural, both my own and those of love interests as well.

@Zettaiken imo the whole point is thinking of a design that's not just a logo or a character face pasted onto the nail. I've seen some that have patterns of the Hashira haoris from Demon slayer for example. Ones that are Dabi from My Hero themed are black with blue flames and stitch marks. Similar goes for Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul which have blood splatter, his mask motif, red pupil with black sclera eyes etc. You can really make a lot if you get creative.
