Realistic Eyeball Toenail Art: Toeballs

Because this is the internet and the internet is full of unholy abominations, nail artist Tahvya of Nailedbytav created this realistic eyeball toenail art. I don’t know about you, but that’s probably the last thing I’d want to see when taking my wife’s socks off. Although, knowing her, she’ll probably get them anyways just to scare me. And that will be the last time I ever take off her socks when she asks.

Tav painted each nail by hand and says the whole ten-toeball pedicure took about three hours. I only hope a telemarketer called during that time, and Tav told them she can’t talk now; she’s painting eyeballs on toenails. Because in my mind, that happened, and it was glorious.

So was this part of an elaborate Halloween costume or what? I hope so, but it looks like Tav posted the toe eyeballs in May, so I don’t think that’s the case. And I don’t know about you, but the thought of somebody walking around in sandals with toeballs in May instead of October gives me the heebie-jeebies.

3D Printed Dragon Feet TV Stand: For Your Own House of the Dragon

Because dinosaur feet make everything better (googly eyes, too, but this isn’t about them), Thingiverse user melgrubb created 3D-printed dino feet to support a flatscreen television. That’s cool, but he should have also printed little t-rex arms hugging the television from the sides.

According to Mel, he recently moved a wall-hanging television from one room to another, where it was to become a terrestrial model, but he couldn’t find the original feet (story of my life). His wife suggested 3D printing feet, and when he asked what they should look like, she said dragon feet. The rest is television history.

Of course, the odds of these feet being an exact fit for your television model are low, but they can be scaled up or down in different dimensions to make them fit your television’s bolts. Per Mel: “I printed them in a lovely marble filament, and my wife painted the nails with the ‘sluttiest’ red nail polish she could find at the dollar store. Now, this TV makes us smile even when it’s not turned on.” Haha, that TV makes me smile even when it’s not turned on, and it’s not my TV, and I’m just looking at a picture of it! Now that’s quality.

Razer Gaming Gear Sneki Snek Slippers: SSSSSSSSSSS

Requested by their community of product users and inspired by the company’s mascot, manufacturer of gaming gear Razer has announced a line of Sneki Snek merchandise, including these house slippers. Created with a mission to help protect the environment and promote sustainability, Razer says the purchase of each pair of recycled polyester slippers will save ten trees through Conservation International.

The slithery slippers are available in sizes small, medium, and large, and cost $50 a pair. They include slip-resistant soles, a plush interior with thick-padded insteps, and an elastic sock insert to help keep your feet firmly in place. Wait – slip-resistant soles? But how am I supposed to reenact Tom Cruises’s sliding dance scene from Risky Business?

I already own a Razer gaming chair and keyboard, I might as well go ahead and get the house slippers too. And everything else they sell. Then I’ll get a tattoo! Oh, my wife is shaking her head no. I can’t tell if that’s specifically about the Sneki Snek tattoo or just in general disappointment. If I had to guess though, probably both.

NakeFit Foot Stickers Keep Your Soles from Burning in Hell

Being that I am from Texas, all my childhood memories of the beach revolve around Galveston, Texas. That means Gulf of Mexico water as dirty as a mud puddle, and sand roughly the temperature of the surface of the Sun. I remember taking a towel with me from the car, sprinting down the sand until my feet were near blistering, throwing the towel down and standing on it until I could move again, and then sprinting the way to the water to put out the flaming tootsies.

This minimal footwear from NakeFit would have solved this problem for sure. It’s basically thin protective layer which sticks to the soles of your feet. It’s elastic and promises to be easy to wear. It’s also anti-slip so you don’t have to worry about sliding and falling as much at the pool.

The product is on Kickstarter and has already blown through its goal by nearly 10x. A pack of 10 pairs of one-time-use NakeFits will cost you about $33(USD).
