Can we all agree nails are having a bit of a moment?
Everybody wants their moment to shine, and currently, the lovely world of nails are receiving their glimmering (and highly polished) moment. We’ve seen a lot of nail trends recently, but there’s a new one on the scene. Actually, it’s an old one that’s coming back for round two, but it feels new…
I’m talking, of course, about the bubble nail trend you may have seen circling the internet these days. The style can only be described as bulbous, as it requires quite a bit of acrylic gel to be smoothed over the nail in a bubble shape.
We’ve seen a few different variations of this style, which come in different shapes and sizes, but it has one underlying theme: impracticality. Mainly, all bubble nails create a dome-like shape and some are even spruced up with tiny flairs of bling. Personally, I find the style to cumbersome to to be cute, but to each her own. If you are going to rock this style, check out all the variations you can go with (and make sure you don’t have a job that requires you to use your fingers).
There’s this bulging design:
These mermaid talons are created by setting bling in the wet acrylic to give the nails their 3D flair:
The claw shape was very popular about a year or two ago, which also falls into the bubble category (it is also very useful when scratching the eyes out of a rival):
There’s also the bubble flair look:
Sure, it’s a little tacky, but you have to give the extra points for creativity:
And most recently, these bulbous creatures have come onto the fashion and beauty scene:
I wonder how you type on a keyboard with these babies:
Yup, these nails have quite a hump:
We’ll let them have their 15 minutes of fame and then we’ll be onto the next trend in no time at all:
