Nail related nonsense

Whilst the annual ‘Nail Queen Awards’ may not be the most prestigious prize ceremony in the world, it nevertheless didn’t stop this year’s winners from waxing lyrically about their fingernail fashion.

Becky, pictured above and winner of the television personality category, gushed, “Being chosen as a nail queen was my goal this year. I’m so happy that dream has come true.” Yet just when you thought she had her tongue firmly embedded in her cheek, the 21-year-old showed off her treasure chest themed nails and exclaimed, “I like showy and sparkly things.”

Other winners of the event, sponsored by the Japan Nailist Association, included Aya Ueto. The popular actress giving a more practical reason for her love of coloured nails. “Up until two years ago I had a habit of biting my fingernails, but I overcame that habit after starting nail art.” The picture below amply proving this, her perfectly shaped nails looking especially attractive.

Rather surprisingly, the event also boasted the inclusion of a men’s section, with TM Revolution’s Takanori Nishikawa scooping the top prize.

    He looks more female than the woman above him.
    If only the females here had the faces of the males. There is something wrong with this place.

    This guy could give Bobby Trendy a run for his money as the ultimate drag queen.

    I just discovered your blog from the Weblog awards site. I’m glad I did. I get lots of visitors from Asia, but haven’t been able to find them. This is a fantastic way to better understand the culture and fashion. I love the humour too! Merci!

    This is a great story! I LOVE AYA UETO & TAKANORI ROCKS! Plus, they both obviously have pretty nails. 😉

    I thought that Takanori was a girl.

    I mean, until I noticed the absence of boobs.
