Taking to TikTok, the nail technician shared a video of her working on the client’s nails.
It has since garnered over 499,000 views, leaving many social media users in shock.
The account, known as @, first revealed the finished look before providing a step-by-step guide on how the distinctive nails were created.

What age can you take kid to get their nails done?
MUMS have sparked controversy after allowing their kids to get acrylic nails. But just how old do they have to be to be allowed to get them done legally.
According to the National Occupational Standards, anyone under the age of 16 has to be accompanied by an adult.
They also need written consent from a parents or guardian.
It's also a good idea to check that the salon you're planning to go to - just to ask if they offer services to children.
