厲害啦word天，多肉植物都可以用來美甲啦！就是那個制作了多肉首飾的藝術(shù)家羅茲?伯格，地球已經(jīng)不能阻止她對多肉植物的狂愛。她竟然將真的多肉植物粘到了指甲上，創(chuàng)造了一種新的美甲藝術(shù)。

You can now take your love for flowers and plants to the extreme with the latest botanical inspired beauty trend to take over Instagram - succulent nails.
近日，圖片分享應(yīng)用Instagram上興起了以植物為靈感的美妝新潮流，多肉美甲可以把你對花花草草的熱愛推向極致。

Everyone knows plants are perfect for brightening up your desk or coffee table, but why leave it there? It turns out they're pretty great at jazzing up your fingers too.
眾所周知，植物是為書桌、茶幾增添色彩的最佳選擇，但為什么只是把它們擺在那兒？事實證明它們還能裝點(diǎn)你的手指。

Thanks to Australian artist Roz Borg, plants have ditched the dirt and made its way into the beauty world.
多虧了澳大利亞藝術(shù)家羅茲?伯格，植物遠(yuǎn)離了臟臟的泥土，踏入美麗的世界。

"I had been making real succulent jewellery and wanted to use the same application on something I had never seen baby succulents used on before,” Borg told The Huffington Post.
伯格對《赫芬頓郵報》表示，“我曾做過多肉首飾，我想以同樣的方式把多肉幼株用在以前從未用過的事物上?！?/p>

To create the look, the tiny plants are glued to an acrylic nail using Oasis floral adhesive and then attached to her real nail after it dries.
為了制作多肉指甲，要用綠洲牌植物膠水把細(xì)小的多肉植物黏在水晶甲片上，然后把晾干的甲片黏在指甲上。

Given the colour variation of succulents – blue-green, chartreuse, pink, yellow, white - the possibilities are endless and while they’re definitely a temporary beauty fix it's certainly not the end of the road.
因為多肉的顏色多種多樣，有藍(lán)綠色、黃綠色、粉色、黃色和白色等，所以有無限種可能的配色，不過多肉指甲只是暫時被固定住，最終肯定會掉下來。

Once they start to 'chip' they can be re-potted, she says "The Oasis glue eventually releases and I can plant the baby succulents and they can grow happily."
一旦多肉開始“脫落”，可以將它們重新種植，伯格說，“綠洲膠水最終會失去粘性，我可以將脫落的多肉幼株種起來，它們還能長得很好?！?/p>

It's definitely not the most practical of beauty trends but this real, living nail art gets a (green) thumbs up from us.
多肉指甲的確不是最實用的美妝風(fēng)潮，但是這種逼真生動的甲藝值得我們豎起（綠色的）大拇指。（綠拇指有園藝才能的意思）
