Nail art has gotten pretty fucking dope in the last few years.
JUST. LOOK. AT. THAT. GLITTER. MOVEMENT.
Please excuse me while I watch this on loop and meditate on the peaceful life of a glitter nail.
They're made using two clear fake nails.
Layering the smaller fake nail on top, clear gel is used to seal three sides of the nails together, leaving the cuticle side open.
Through the open edge, the nail is filled with glitter and water to create an "aquarium."
The free edge gets sealed with gel again.
And after the entire nail is coated in clear-gel top coat, it's adhered to the natural nail. Pretty cool!
People are getting super creative with how they use the aquarium technique.
Bottom line: Aquarium nails are freaking perfect for anyone who secretly wants to be a mermaid.
