Within five hours of its release, Pokémon Go climbed to the number one spot on the App Store and it has since been described as one of the most successful apps of all time. An augmented reality game for Android and iOS smartphones, the app uses your device’s GPS in order for you to catch animated Pokémon in real life locations.

Every day the nostalgic video game inspires a whirlwind of hilarious memes, soccer goal celebrations, and even presidential campaigns—but the obsession doesn’t stop there. The mobile phenomenon is now sweeping the beauty industry.

Makeup artist and all-round beauty guru Amata Chittasenee (who goes by pearypie on Instagram) shared a series of photos with her 1.3m followers that displayed quirky nail art inspired by Pokémon Go. Chittasenee sites Pokémon as one of her interests—alongside fashion and lifestyle, Sailor Moon, and yellow stuff—and isn’t afraid to show it. Her Instagram account shows her holding a set of chopsticks, clutching a dazzling new Supreme sticker, and wielding a towering ice cream cone with a 3D Pikachu or an intricately drawn Poké Ball on a manicured thumb.

And Chittasenee is not the only one. A number of beauty mavens have taken to the social media platform to show off electrifying nails sparked by Pikachu (pun intended) and co. Before you venture outside, opt for bold Pokémon Go nail art to help you catch ‘em all.
