Invader Zim On My Fingers, Goldfish On My Toes, I Shall Amaze Wherever I Goes

by Deanna aka Pop Tart

I am amazed by Jihye Lee Art.

The Invader Zim fingernails I get…

Not so sure about Japanese Goldfish Toenails — fake toenails in general seems a bit odd. But then I don’t like toe rings. Or flip-flops, for that matter.
