We don’t know about you, but sometimes our weekends are spent watching violent Korean films. Last weekend, we watched “The Man From Nowhere” on Netflix. It’s a film starring Won Bin and directed by Lee Jeong-beom, about an ex-operative out to rescue his young neighbor after her mom made a terrible decision.
The film, Korea’s highest grossing film, is in the same vein as “The Professional,” Natalie Portman’s first movie (from the 1990s), about a young girl who hires a professional killer to exact revenge on her parents’ killer.
What does this have to do with nail art, you ask? Well, the little girl in “The Man From Nowhere” has a penchant for it, so much so, that you see her designs every time her hero busts a cap.
With that in mind, we’d thought we’d take a look at some of the coolest nail art around. Enjoy!
