If the thought of painting your fingernails sends you into a flat spin, you
might like to try NailMore—a device made by Atlus of Tokyo that prints
colourful designs directly on your fingernails. For about 75 pence, you can
choose from one of 100 designs, including butterflies and flowers. After feeding
the money into the machine’s slot, you put your hand inside the machine and an
ink-jet printer gets to work on the nail. The device will go on sale this
summer.
