The nail art from the show'd first episode, Red Light, Green Light features a giant doll while customers who pick episode two, Hell, are given a pink-ribboned coffin, as reported by Gulf News.
Salon co-owner Lim Pei Xim talked about her intricate art, describing it as rather a challenging task.
"Is it difficult to draw? Yes a little bit because ... it's all 100% hand painting, not printing," she said. "Every fine line we have to stop breathing."
