That\u2019s why Zara Shaw is a miracle worker. Not only does this 23-year-old nail artist trim your dog\u2019s nails to perfection, she paints them too! The self-taught nail artist has even opened her own doggy nail boutique in Newcastle, NSW. It\u2019s the first canine nail art bar in Australia!<\/p>\n

While doggy nail art may seem a bit odd, it is one of the latest trends for pampered pooches. Zara has said that dog owners often come in suggesting designs, or wanting their dog\u2019s nails to match theirs. \u201cI had one client who was really into Angry Birds so I painted them on her dog\u2019s nails, she had a huge, black Newfoundland dog.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zara\u2019s nail art isn\u2019t just creating a storm in Australia, it\u2019s also gaining attention in the USA. When her nail designs were shown at the GroomEx 2013 exhibition in Melbourne, they caught the eye of world-class groomer Judy Hudson. Mrs Hudson was so impressed that she even took photos back to the US to show off Zara\u2019s talents.<\/p>\n

GroomEx saw Zara take home the prize for best Canine Nail Art with her social media-inspired designs. To see her handiwork in person, Zara\u2019s doggy nail bar can be found at Dogoverboard in Adamstown. Each design is painted by hand, with a basic colour starting at $10 for the two front paws.<\/p>\n

While they may not be as well known down under, dog pedicures are taking the US by storm. Pooch pedicures and nail art are becoming more and more elaborate and accessible. There are even nail polish pens made especially for dogs! These colourful varnishes dry in 40 seconds so you can immediately strut your dog down the street to show off your new nail art. The American brand Pawdicure Polish is a big hit in grooming salons and homes across the country. And with hilarious names like \u201cPaw-ty in Pink\u201d, \u201cSmooch\u201d and \u201cWalk in the Park Green\u201d, we\u2019re not surprised!<\/p>\n

Next time you\u2019re taking your dog for a walk be on the lookout for signs of this upcoming trend in your neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
