We’ve put you onto jelly nails, lipstick nails, velvet nails and now we’re back to put you onto another nail trend that’s set to take over the spring and summer months: 3D nails!
According to Allure, 3D nails originated as a Korean and Japanese beauty trend and have recently expanded out to the rest of the world. The nail trend combines the style of jelly nails with abstract 3D nail art, for unique creations that can fit the style of any and everyone. And literally, turn all heads.
Check out some of our favorite creations, and use them as your inspiration before you head to your next nail appointment!

Use this set for inspiration by choosing a color palette you’d like to feature on each of your hands, and play it up with your own water-like drips.

This nail set was created by Japanese nail artist, Eichi Matsunaga, and it is giving the girls all of the intergalactic space vibes that we could imagine. Matsunaga opted in for a clear acrylic base, but try yours with a metallic color to match your 3D nail art, or opt in for a solid base color to draw more contrast.
