2017 has been, thus far, a pretty bold year for nail art. In the past few months alone, we've seen fidget spinner nail art, Mark Zuckerberg-inspired manicures, and now...tampon nails.

Because, why not?

Canada-based artist Annelies Hofmeyr created the rather unusual look, which consists of a white backdrop with a faux-blood effect, not to mention little blue strings for added realism.

It's a pretty useful trick if you think about it. Next time it's your time of the month, just fashion your nails into tampons and save yourself the bother of telling anyone that you have your period. Genius.

Of course, this isn't the first time people have used their nails to let people know flow's in town. People have been emblazoning their manicures with tiny period-related paraphernalia for a while.

But, Hofmeyr's design is the first time a look has been entirely devoted to tampons.
