The company that launched Print Club stickers, which had armies of schoolgirls everywhere collecting and swapping mini-photo stickers of themselves, believes it has got its hands on another hit. Atlus Co. in Tokyo has produced a machine that does your nails.

More entertainment concept than beauty product, the NailMore computerized device offers users the chance to decorate their nails with tiny designs for 150 yen a finger.

First you manually paint your nails with a base coat -- niftily provided at the front of the machine-- then finger by finger you proffer your nails to a small plastic arm that drags your hand into the machine's innards. Three minutes later a precision ink jet has adorned your finger with the chosen design.
