The black pinkie nail, emblazoned with gold glitter and beads, was part of the controversial pop star’s over-the-top Mother Monster outfit and was meticulously hand-painted by her personal manicurist Aya Fukuda.
A photo, taken the following night during Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball tour stop in Dublin, shows she’s missing the nail on her left hand.
A crew member later found the enormous nail - which looks rather like a mini dagger - backstage at the Aviva Stadium after Gaga’s performance.
