Niki Pilkington

Niki Pilkington is from Wales, UK. She is 22  years old artist. Her works are really similar to the Marynn’s works. The difference is probably in shadows and Niki Pilkington usually adds some 3D elements to the pictures. I really like it because it has interesting visual.

Here is her Facebook page.










Kayleigh O’Connor

Kayleigh O’Connor is one of the craziest nail art creators. She is good at nail art. “The 24-year old student from Birmingham, spends hours on each design and some of the ones in her portfolio include Batman, Snow White, Dr Who, Jaws, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Austin Powers and Sesame Street fave Oscar The Grouch to name but a few!



She explains that she sees her nail art as temporary tattoos and is grateful for the platform to express her fandoms, exclaiming that otherwise she would probably be “covered” in tattoos. “

I don’t think that drawing on the nails is Art. I think that Art is more difficult work than just drawing a small picture on the nails. However, I would say that some of the nail makers are artists and their works are Art.

So, I would say that Kayleigh O’Connor’s nails work is definitely a type of art. It is really hard to draw on such a small space especially detailed pictures. She is very good at it. She is making not just nails, but art with details, some form, and even emotions. For example, the art nails with Snow White. When I look at the picture of Snow White I see that she was a protagonist (positive character) because she doesn’t have any sharp details. I also like that Kayleigh O’Connor drew her profile because the picture became more interesting and original. You can also see that the second figure (stepmother) is an antagonist (negative character) because the picture is all kind of sharp which is associated to the negative things.

Actually I would never make the nails like Kayleigh O’Connor is making because it is really uncomfortable to wear them and it is going to be ruined really quickly.

Comment, describe, and share :D
