An acrylic nail reportedly worn by Lady Gaga on her Born This Way tour has been sold in an internet auction to a fan for $12,000.
The nail, displaying one of the many designs that Gaga exhibits in her live show, was recovered by a crew member at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland last September.
The crew member reportedly "noticed an object on the floor of the stage, which at first I thought was a guitar plectrum," - a forgiveable mistake giving the extremely pointed design. The website Artfact, where the nail was purchased from, packaged it with other merchandise and photos.
Included was a photo of the 'Mother Monster'performing on stage- which apparently shows her missing the fingernail, and another photo of the performer in New York wearing a full set of the nails, which are black decorated with tiny gold beads. This was accompanied by a wristband, a tee shirt, and an Aviva Stadium staff handbook.
