I must not polish. Polish is the nail-killer. Polish is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will acetone my polish. I will permit it to pass over my nails and through my nails. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its cuticle. Where the polish has gone there will be nothing. Only nails will remain.

At first casual scrolling glance, the top photo looks like scabs and/or bruises and/or massive fungal infection.

A local church had a sign: “We use duct-tape. God used nails.”
Maybe that’s what they meant?

The original machine had one’s entire hand in the printer, rather than one digit at a time.

More than a decade ago I saw a similar, but much cheaper, device exhibited at the annual SIGGRAPH conference. It was a modified inkjet printer. The nail was first painted with a white, perhaps florescent, nail polish and then the hand held in the machine. The machine optically detected the surface of the nail and printed on it. Some years later I saw the same principle used in a fingernail printer marketed as a toy.

Well, good thing they didn’t use any personal protective equipment while staring at a high-intensity UV light…
