In a world where brands are pushing the envelope to grab attention, a fake nail company has stunned the internet with an unusual marketing strategy. A girl who had ordered fake nails online was left shocked when she opened her delivery to find the nails attached to eerily realistic silicone hands.
The customer, startled by the lifelike appearance of the fake hands, screamed upon opening the box and later shared a video of the entire experience on social media. “It looked like a severed human hand. I was so scared at first,” she explained. Her clip quickly went viral, amassing thousands of views and sparking heated discussions.
The silicone hands, used as a display for the nails, were so detailed that many online users initially believed they were real. Some praised the company’s creativity, calling it a “brilliant marketing tactic” and an “out-of-the-box idea.” Others, however, were not impressed. “This can give someone a heart attack!” one user commented. Another added, “This is no joke. Some people might call the police thinking it’s a real hand.”
The nail company has not yet responded to the viral attention, but their strategy—though controversial—has certainly sparked conversation.
