MONEY VIDEO_ by [Ryan Kilpatrick](https://time.com/author/ryan-kilpatrick/) ## Ryan Kilpatrick May 24, 2017 9:47 AM UTC by [Ryan Kilpatrick](https://time.com/author/ryan-kilpatrick/) ## Ryan Kilpatrick May 24, 2017 9:47 AM UTC [Fidget spinners](http://time.com/4770412/what-are-fidget-spinners/?iid=sr-link2), the latest toy craze to sweep the globe, have been taken to a bold new level: a fingernail decoration that actually spins. In a do-it-yourself[ tutorial uploaded](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpgLTgBPsF8) to YouTube, makeup and nail art expert Natasha Lee shows the world how to create a miniature version of the toy out of softened acrylic, and then pin it to your nail. Not only does the mini fidget spinner spin, it even glows thanks to a backlight-reactive UV top coat. “I couldn’t resist joining in with the fidget spinner craze,” Lee said on her YouTube page. The science is still out on whether [fidget spinners](http://time.com/money/4762207/fidget-spinner-inventor-catherine-hettinger/), as claimed, offer [therapeutic benefits](http://time.com/money/4766890/fidget-spinners-what-to-know/) for people with ADHD, ADD, anxiety and stress. Parents and teachers have complained that the toy is too distracting, and some schools have [banned them](http://time.com/money/4750498/fidget-spinners-toy-craze-focus/) from classrooms. But the spinner’s popularity is showing no signs of waning. The “finger spinner” may be over the top, but the creation sure is ingenious. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4791997/fidget-spinner-finger-nails/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4791997/fidget-spinner-finger-nails/"},"headline":"Nail Art Fidget Spinners That Actually Spin Will Make You Question Everything","datePublished":"2017-05-24T09:47:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:30.736Z","description":"A bold new level in the world of fidget spinners","url":"https://time.com/4791997/fidget-spinner-finger-nails/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Toys","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ryan Kilpatrick","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ryan-kilpatrick/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4791997/fidget-spinner-finger-nails/","name":"Nail Art Fidget Spinners That Actually Spin Will Make You Question Everything"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Do Fidget Spinners Really Help With ADHD?
