Fidget spinners, the latest toy craze to sweep the globe, have been taken to a bold new level: a fingernail decoration that actually spins.

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.
