Felissimo Neko-bu™ released their new ‘Cat Nail Seals’ on their website on October 22.
The nails come with a thick and glossy transparent gel that you simply apply to stick the nails on which also give them three-dimensionality. They are perfect for people who are in a rush, want to make their nails stylish but aren’t sure how, those who don’t have time to go to a nail salon, and those who have an interest in nail art but it troublesome.
There are 4 designs to choose from.
Cat & Constellations: A girly colour combination of pink and white.
Cat Emblem: A good choice to match light skin tones with luxurious pink beige and greys. Also great for parties.
Cat and Cat Powder: A flowery design of the cat powder plant. Perfect for when you need to look flashy.
Cat Dots: A mix of greyish mint and brown to create a mildly cool look.
These high quality nail ‘seals’ have been carefully designed so they can be applied to a variety of nail shapes. They are made in such a way that it is difficult to end up with creases and wrinkles in the seals so you can apply them effortlessly. If you add a top coat of gel they’ll be even longer-lasting.
Each order comes with a set of two so you can make both hands symmetrical or asymmetrical. There are so many combinations you can make even with the same set. The cat motifs and vibrant colours are ideal for a whole range of settings, whether it’s an everyday look or you’re off to a party. They’re sure to be noticed and crop up in conversation when gathered around people. They also make for a perfect gift for cat lovers.
As always with Felissimo Neko-bu products, part of the price of these false nails goes towards numerous causes including shelter for animals with no owners and for helping find them owners, as well as aiding towards getting stray cats off the street to avoid overpopulation, and for protecting animals during times of disaster.
Show off your inner feline with these new nails from Felissimo Nekobu♪

Felissimo Neko-bu released their second collaborative piece of merchandise with internet sensation Foo-Chan on July 18, this time in the form of slippers.
The slippers are almost like a plush toy and are insulated, meaning your feet will be warm, cushioned and comfortable.
The slippers are so fat and fluffy you’ll find yourself stroking them without even realising!
The soles are black like Foo-chan’s paws and are made of anti-skid material meaning you won’t slide all over the place.
There are three designs with different Foo-chan facial expressions. There’s his classic ‘disappointed’ look, a scornful look, and a cute expression he uses when he wants treats.
As always with Felissimo Neko-bu products, part of the price of these slippers go towards numerous causes including shelter for animals with no owners and for helping find them owners, as well as aiding towards getting stray cats off the street to avoid overpopulation, and for protecting animals during times of disaster.
Sizes accommodate those with 22.5cm-27.5cm sized feet so guys can wear them too.

Edo Neko Chaya is a new Edo-style cat café opening in Tokyo on June 15 for a limited period where you can enjoy the world of ukiyo-e while playing with real cats.
Alpha
The concept behind this event is: “A rumour between the residents of an Edo ‘nagaya’ and cats. Travellers from across the country catch sound of the rumour and come to get a glimpse.”
The nagaya was a type of living quarters in the Edo period made like a row of houses. The cat café building is made to look like one of these. Ukiyo-e paintings and models will decorate inside and bring to life the street and atmosphere of the Edo period. There will be several zones inside building, including the cat tea room, cat ‘red light district,’ cat bath, cat nagaya, and cat plaza. Each area will be furnished with ukiyo-e that fit the scene, bringing to life the world of Edo. You’ll have the chance to learn about the deep relationship between the people of Edo and cats through the commentaries of each ukiyo-e piece.
Romeo
The majority of the cats at Edo Neko Chaya are rescue cats. The number of rescue cats remains high as a result of the country’s record breaking cat boom. To raise awareness of this issue, part of the proceedings made at the café will go towards support funds tackling the issue of stray cats.
A range of original merchandise will also be sold including t-shirts, cushions, purses, book covers, phone cases, towels, hand towels, clear files, tatami coasters, stickers and more. Artists fond of cats have also agreed to support tackling the issue of homeless cats by selling limited-edition ema plaques.
But it doesn’t stop there. There will also be a chance to enjoy Edo’s food culture at -Ryogoku- Edo NOREN, join in a campaign being held in collaboration with Sumida Hokusai Museum, and more.
Immerse yourself in the world of Edo and cats at the Edo Cat Café!
