You can do a lot with nails. No, not these nails, fingernails. For example, check out the full-sized image of these Super Mario Brothers-themed fingernails found via Wonderland. For an old-school Nintendo guy like myself, it’s awesome to see some classic Super Mario Brothers 3 graphics back in action, but it does make me wonder just how old this image is, considering Super Mario 3 came out in 1990 for the 8-bit NES. I distinctly remember my mother getting some pretty wild manicures back in the 90’s.
Still, maybe they’re more recent than I’m imagining. After all, I see novelty Nintendo belt buckles all over the place (thanks hipsters!) and retro gaming has never been bigger. Maybe this was a deliberate choice by some modern chick looking to be extra-cool for the gamer convention? Or maybe this is just a relic from a bygone era, along with Hammer pants and giant hoop earrings.
