Check Out The Daring New Trend Called Aquarium Nails

Gone are the days when a French manicure or a design on the ring finger were considered ideal ways to spice up your nails. Nowadays, there are trends that make these common nail techniques seem pretty dull.

For example, there's nail art inspired by comic books that make the fingernails look cartoonish. And it's hard not to stare at 3D bubble nails, which accentuate the fingers in a very eccentric way. 

Below is another eye-catching trend that's almost too hard to believe: the aquarium nails.

While the trend isn't exactly new, it became popular in recent times after a video of it went viral on Facebook. The Vietnamese TV show 2! Idol shared the clip showing the unique manicure and it's reached more than 25 million viewers.

It is a bit time consuming to achieve the aquarium nails look, but the end result is seriously unbelievable. They are almost like tiny snow globes!

Trust me, this manicure is far different than anything you've seen before. It might look like a colorful nail, but it's far better.

Two acrylic nails are placed on top of each other in a way that liquid and sparkles can be squirted in between.

While it seems most people prefer longer nails for this trend, some like to keep it shorter. But, it's certainly up to the individual's taste.
