As the nail art trend takes over fingertips around the globe - appearing on everyone from Tilda Swinton to Jemima Kirke, and invading galleries and art fairs -- ARTINFO combed the Internet to find examples of the best art-inspired manicures. We saw Salvador Dalí's "The Persistence of Time" stretched out over five fingers, Frida Kahlo's 1940 self-portrait, Kaws's cartoonish characters standing out against bold backgrounds, and more.
