Just when we think the world has thought of every nail art [1] trend possible, we're surprised by something fabulous and new. Our friends at Byrdie [2] have identified the latest great nail art trend — and it's called bracelet nails, an idea that started with the South Korean artists at Unistella [3].
The general idea is that bracelet nails are decorated in a minimalist, only slightly embellished style. They're all unified by having a line — like that of a bracelet — that runs along the width of each fingernail. One woman, Rani Sheen [4], who got a bracelet nail manicure at Unistella, wrote on Instagram about how the nail artists used thread and real metal to create the look.
Read on to see a handful of examples of "bracelet nails," check out even more at Byrdie [5], and get inspired to try the trend at home.
