Would you get a ’Squid Game’ manicure?

Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

The Maniqure Nail Salon has designed a set of nails

inspired by each of the hit show’s nine episodes

(SOUNDBITE) (English) MANICURIST AND CO-OWNER OF MANIQURE NAIL SALON, LIM PEI XIN, SAYING: "Is it difficult to draw? Yes, it's a little bit because this is, we, mainly focus in hand painting. So it's all 100% hand painting, it's not printing. So (to draw) every fine line, we have to stop breathing."

The salon is also selling press-on nails for international clients

as demand for the nail art has skyrocketed

(SOUNDBITE) (English) CUSTOMER AND FAN OF NETFLIX'S HIT SERIES "SQUID GAME", LEE PIT ENG, SAYING:"Because this is too viral, everybody knows this 'Squid Game.' And then I saw this on the Facebook and IG and then, looks like 'wow, so nice'. So I get the appointment and done this one."
