Thanks to Australian artist Roz Borg, plants have ditched the dirt and made its way into the beauty world.
“I had been making real succulent jewellery and wanted to use the same application on something I had never seen baby succulents used on before,” Borg told The Huffington Post.
To create the look, the tiny plants are glued to an acrylic nail using Oasis floral adhesive and then attached to her real nail after it dries.
Given the colour variation of succulents – blue-green, chartreuse, pink, yellow, white - the possibilities are endless and while they’re definitely a temporary beauty fix it’s certainly not the end of the road.
Once they start to ‘chip’ they can be re-potted, she says “The Oasis glue eventually releases and I can plant the baby succulents and they can grow happily.”
It’s definitely not the most practical of beauty trends but this real, living nail art gets a (green) thumbs up from us.
