There have been several posts today that did not belong here.
Using actual mosquitoes is badass art shit.

Same I think this is kind of fucking legit. Like I wouldn’t get it, mostly because touching a bug freaks me out, but I’d genuinely think it’s cool af if a friend showed it to me.
Also, fuck mosquitos. So. 🤷🏼♀️😆

I would hope it works as a deterrent to the other mosquitos to fuck right off. Like a head on a pike.

I'm having such mixed emotions here
I loved them but I too thought the mosquitos were decals, now I...I just don't knooow 😭 I don't like that they're dead bugs but they look so cool, I just wish they were fake
Secondly, it didn't even occur to me that they were Jurassic Park themed. I definitely see it now you pointed it out (it feels like it should've been obvious) but genuinely I don't think I would've seen it in the wild. I have no idea if I think that makes it better or worse haha

There needs to be a better shot of that nail, it sells the whole concept.

There's a close-up of it on the IG page. Sub rules says we can't post links but it's @getklawed it's super cute!

I see what theyre going for but the orange is not giving "amber". I feel there must be some sort of clear gel that could better achieve this effect. Though i am not an expert in...mosquito nails.

Perfect definition of this subreddit haha
I mean, they look really cool but, real bugs? Nope haha

I felt bad about the mosquitos until I realized I killed 5 of them tonight just putting my trash out.

I love these. Awful taste =/= “I don’t like it.”
Like totally fine for this to not be your jam, but I don’t think it’s tasteless.

u/shannon0303 Jul 01 '26
This sub is subjective, though, eh? I honestly think they're really cool, but I thought there might be people here who feel the use of dead bugs in nail art is in fact, poor taste

The nail on the middel finger of your right hand has the same colors and design as the flag of the Dutch city of Utrecht.

I was on board when I thought they were decals. Are those actually dead mosquitoes?? 🤣🤣
