I remember the days when everyone owned succulents. These cute, low-maintenance plants were the kind you'd keep at your work desk or night stand. They perfect for the lazy gardener who never remembers to water their plants. But apparently these humble little things also make quite the beauty statement. Women are legit growing them (not just wearing them) on their nail beds, and it's kind of cray. Check them out!

Humble plants aren’t just for keeping on your desk.
“It’s definitely a temporary green thumb,” Australian artist Roz Borg who developed the technique, told Huffington Post. She recommends using Oasis Floral Adhesive, a glue specifically for plants to help attach them to your nail beds.
This gives “green thumb” a whole new meaning.
Once the glue loses its adhesive ability, you can legit plant the succulent on your nail. How cool is that?
It’s actually super cute.
Though not exactly practical.
They look crazy on long acrylic nails.
How do you get anything done with these things on?
It’s not the easiest thing to do.
“Attempted a succulent nail to match my cactus costume, it was tough,” wrote @spartansucculents on Instagram.
The colorful ones are cute though.
Seriously, how adorable are these purple ones?
These are real live plants, not 3D.
In case you weren’t sure. It’s mind-boggling I know.
They’re a lot more high-maintenance on your nails, though.
I can’t even imagine how you would take care of this thing.
I don’t see this become a big trend.
Who has time for this?
It’s definitely fun to look at, though.
I can stare at these things for days.
