Japanese Fashion...and nails.

Well, yesterday afternoon, I was at a friend's house chilling, and suddenly out pop these two very girly Japanese girls. They gush on and on about fashion, which got me into thinking about "gyaru" fashion. You know, those girls who are on the cutting edge of fashion (supposedly).

Some cute gyarus. xD (At least, I think they are...)

There's also "kogal" and "ganguro" which in my American-ness, I can't really tell apart.

Kogal (according to Yahoo! Images)

Ganguro

Well of course they don't look EXACTLY alike, but somehow, I don't really see what's supposed to set the two apart, besides differences in make up and skin tone. And personally, I love the hiding of the armpit (hairs?)

However, I think that B-Gyaru is quite cute. (from what I read, it's like emulating the style of R&B artists. Assuming they mean American ones.)

Are they all the same girl? :O

Anyway, the REAL star of Japanese fashion for me, is the NAILS! (Can you blame me? I'm Vietnamese.)


The Japanese celebrities all have nails that are beyond belief, over the top, and so niceeeee~ @.@



Ayumi Hamasaki is rocking some pillowy, soft looking nails on this cover for her single.



While Kumi's nails look really awesome as well, though a bit hard to see, in this still from her video for Ningyo-Hime (or something like that).

Are those 3D rhinestones I see? :D

Anyway, I've been doing my friends' nails for a while now, and pretty soon I hope to be taking pictures of my work and showing off :P

Maybe I can turn this into a money making opportunity! $_$

Mango: You have WHAT?
Me: Astigmatism. It means I'm really effin blind. :[
Mango: That explains your fashion sense.
