Cable-knit sweater nails are the hottest nail trend. The lines of the nails mimic the classic winter sweater to a T. However, there's something even cooler about them: they're 3D!
There's no optical illusion here. Using standard gel nail polish like BMC or OPI's, the look is created using nothing but a dotting tool and a steady hand. That's pretty surprising, since we all know that another recent trend, shattered glass nails, take a little bit more effort and little bit more nail skills.
The nails are an awesome way to stay festive for the upcoming holidays without overdoing it. Does anyone really need that much shimmer, sparkle and snowflake? OK, maybe some of us do. But for the rest of us, these 3D sweater nails are the perfect touch of winter whimsy without being too overwhelming.
