Barbie Dolled up Nails Digital Nail Printer

Girls have always been nuts for their Barbies.  No, not all girls are into them, but the ones that are always seem to have everything with a pretty pink Barbie theme.  If you’re looking for a unique Barbie themed gift for a little girl, this nail printer would be perfect.  They not only get to have another Barbie branded toy, but it’ll also let them play with beauty products.

This is one of those things that’s actually really good for girls in transition.  That period when they’re not playing with dolls as much, but aren’t quite ready for the makeup and purses teen stage.  The nail printer lets the girl create, customize and print different designs right onto her nails.  The printing itself only takes a few seconds and the printer helps you make sure the nail is lined up just right.  The down side is that this is a bit pricey.  It’s being sold through Amazon for $264.99.

Sorry guys. This one’s for the girls. The Barbie Digital Nail Printer is part of Mattel’s new line of products called “beautronics”. This Nail Printer is designed to print images directly onto your fingernails using thermal inkjet technology and specially-formulated cosmetic grade ink.
Just insert your finger into the machine and a digital camera inside transmits an image of your fingernail to the computer. With the included Barbie software you can select from 1000’s of image designs and see a preview of the image you choose superimposed on your nail so you see exactly what it would look like on your nail.

If they want, kids can even upload their own pictures for use. The printer takes about 10-15 seconds for each nail. The Barbie Digital Nail Printer will be released in Fall 2009. No pricing yet, but young girls everywhere will be printing on their fingers. The Barbie tramp-stamp maker can’t be far behind.
