Unless you've been living under a rock, you would know that 'Labubu' has taken Singapore by storm. For the uninitiated, Labubu is a monster-like character that is part of a designer toy series created by Hong Kong-born, Netherlands-raised artist Kasing Lung back in 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?vzYAmx-rCoCc&listPLoa9nNa48ZVVXfpU_D8m-qrVpTSdM3NLI Since Labubu's collaboration with Popmart and its subsequent popularity, many local businesses have been quick to jump on the viral bandwagon. Some of these local businesses include home-based and store-based nail salons that have come up with some of the quirkiest and most creative Labubu-inspired nail designs.
