Enough about Katy Perry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one-sleeved, drawn-on tattoo, Olympic figure skater, Bjork swan dress-like ensemble (is it bad if we kind of dig it?) from Sunday night\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s MTV Video Music Awards. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s talk about the far more interesting thing she wore to everyone\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s favorite train wreck of an awards show: her fianc\u00c3\u00a9e.<\/p>\n
That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right folks! Perry had images of funnyman beau\u00c2\u00a0Russell Brand\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s face painted on her finger nails for the occasion. {E! Online<\/a>} She told Ellen DeGeneres in a post-show interview that she did it because he could not attend the VMAs with her since he was shooting an upcoming movie in New York.<\/p>\n What do you think? Awwwww! Or Whaaaaaaat?<\/p>\n We weren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sure what to make of it, but Ms. Teenage Dream (and Rolling Stone’s September cover girl<\/a>) did cause us to wonder what else you could have painted on your nails if you really wanted an original manicure.<\/p>\n Turns out the latest trends in nail art are a direct reflection of a younger generation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s obsessions \u00e2\u20ac\u201c specifically, technology and junk food.<\/p>\n It seems the newest in nail art is having the icon for your favorite Internet browser painted on. Apparently blogger Mamipeko decided to request browser icons be painted on her nails, and the manicurist she went to delivered, using a nude polish as a base and detailing the icons for Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera. {Walyou<\/a>}<\/p>\n Considering the information generation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s obsession with technology and the Web, we figure it’s not unlikely that this idea will catch on, especially since news has spread through the blogosphere. Many others have already followed suit, requesting the Apple icon, Super Mario Brothers images and the Twitter bird as part of their manicures. {Walyou<\/a>}<\/p>\n
