While Borderlands 3 fans have been quick to point out some of the game’s flaws, many do love the 2019 release. As such, the Borderlands 3 communiy has been quick to show their appreciation for the game in several ways - though one fan’s use of nail art is particularly special.

Usually, the methods for fan creations inspired by Borderlands take on the two art forms seen in other gaming communities. For those with a knack for drawing or painting, fan art has been a consistent way to showcase some love for Gearbox’s wacky looter shooters. Fans with a passion for props and the dedication to become their favorite characters will share some Borderlands-themed cosplay, with many perfectly capturing the series’ cel-shaded art style.

What makes the post from Reddit user Thexty so interesting, however, is the fact that it does not fall into the fan art or cosplay category. Instead, it pulls from elements of both. Like fan art, the image features several artistic renditions of figures from the Borderlands series. However, like cosplay, there is a real-world element, as Thexty has changed something on their person to match the Borderlands world. In particular, the fan painted their nails and attached some imagery pulled directly from the franchise.

The first nail is possibly the most fitting, as the entirety of it is taken up by a psycho mask. This ensures that it stands out the most, as it is impossible not to spot the details on the iconic enemy’s mask. The next finger showcases Claptrap, with the talkative robot fitting perfectly against a white backdrop. While he may not be able to go up stairs, Thexty will be able to carry him wherever they go.
