Boob Nail Art Is Helping To Free The Nipple, And It's Cool AF

Slay šŸ’…

Boob nail art has a powerful agenda.

Featuring nipples in all shapes, colours and sizes - even including piercings - the statement making design makes a stand against sexism, and we love it.

The look was created by New York City-based nail artist Mei Kawajiri of ā€˜Nails By Meiā€™.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday 4 June, the artist shared her design with her 60,000 followers.

ā€œPierced nipple? Or no? Nipple hoops for thumbs?ā€ she wrote.

Kawajiriā€™s model was Erose Aziza, a musician based in New York City, and it was she who added a political edge to the design.

Taking to Instagram on Sunday 4 June, Aziza shared a photo of her manicure with the ā€˜Free The Nippleā€™ hashtag.

The #FreeTheNipple campaign was created in 2012 to fight against policing of womenā€™s bodies, in response to Instagramā€™s history of removing photos of women who bare their nipples.

Social media users have also been quick to share their thoughts on it.

ā€œOh my God, amazing,ā€ one commented.

ā€œMost definitely wearing this to work. Boobs go with everything,ā€ another posted.

Itā€™s certainly a creative way to get past the ban on female nipple exposure.
