For many people, myself included, a flashy manicure simply means a bold color, an intricate design, or maybe even a stud or two.
I'll admit that I'm too terrified to try something daring like unbelievable aquarium nails or 3D bubble nails.
As much as I would love to try them, I don't really have the time to do some of the other popular trends, even though they are less complicated than the ones above.
That's why, when I came across something called the flip manicure, I knew I had to try this unusual trend.
Firstly, it's unlike anything I've ever seen since it means adding color underneath the nail – that's the part that the majority of us ignore.
What's even better? It seems like it's not that difficult to do!
Just check out some of the cool flip manicures for yourself below, along with some tips on how to perfect this fabulous look.
When you want to spice up your nails, you'll probably paint them a bold color or add an unusual twist to a French manicure.
You might also opt for a more flashy manicure with some studs or designs.
But, there's an unusual trend that you might want to try. It's called the "flip manicure!"
If you can't already tell from these fabulous photos, the manicure got its name because there's also color underneath the nail.
So once you flick your wrist, there's another pop of color.
Or maybe some bigger eye-catching bling. How cool is that?!
You can even be like DJ/model Hannah Bronfman and have your nails correspond with your travel plans. (She was in Hong Kong when she did this nail design!)
You're probably wondering how to master this look, right? Well, there's some tips on the NEXT page!
Chances are, most people probably won't have nails long enough to allow the color on the back of the nail to show as much as it should.
That's why this look works best on acrylic nails or ones with extended silk wrap.
But if you prefer to be au naturale, then just be patient and let your nails grow!
Using a thin nail brush is the easiest way to add color underneath the nail. It will also prevent you from painting the skin, which we all know looks awful!
It's surely best to paint the top and bottom of the way different colors. That way, it'll stand out. Just look at how the red below catches your eye!
Adding sparkles are always a great idea to get the same effect.
And if you want to add some designs, use a nail striper as you would on the top of the nail.
And glue on some studs because, well, why not?! The bigger the surprise, the better! (These nails belong to singer Lily Allen by the way.)
The "flip manicure" is certainly the perfect look for anyone who wants to try a creative manicure.
