Nail Art has been around forever, but it seems everywhere we look right now girls and women are experimenting with fun and quarky nails!

Well, here at Area Kids we carry nail art kits to get you on your way to FUN!

Pack contains; 2 (or 3) nail art pens, each with a micro nib for drawing (1), brush for painting (2), and gems to decorate (3).

if bling's not your thing, we also carry a simpler version of nail art that contains 2 mini nail art pens with brush for painting and nib for drawing!

I like to use the nibs as you can put them on any color/ colors you like and it's a simple way to jazz up a boring ol' paint job:

From TOKIDOKI: "The Unicornos were once 10 little ponies that were out trotting and wandered into a magic waterfall. Passing through the waterfall, the ponies transformed into unicorns and found a hidden magical kingdom."

That about says it all. These amazing collectible art pieces (don't you dare call them toys) may fit in the palm of your hand, but their magic will surpass all that you have ever known (individual results may vary).

Unicornos come in blind boxes (you don't know which one you'll get), so trying to collect them all is super exciting.

From left to right: Pogo, Ritmo, Metallo, Mooka, Dolce, Stellina, Peperino, Fumo, Prima Donna, and Bellina.
What? How many times did I have to look at the guide on the box to get their names? Zero. Zero times.

Here is the coveted Prima Donna, the most rare Unicorno of all. If you get one, I can get you in touch with... someone... who would be very interested. A... kid. Yeah, that's it. A kid. Definitely not me.

If winter was any indication (what a ripoff!), spring is going to be a mere pit stop before summer. Appaman's new collection is full of awesome graphics, bold colors, and cool looks for the ever-warming weather. Order online or come in to your nearby Area Kids.

Summer 2012 Tea Collection is here folks!! Come and get it!



Don't worry, if you can't make it in to one of the stores, it's on the site as well! We got ya covered!
