Bubbling under: 3D Flower nails
Trend forecasters suggest that the popularity of elaborate nail art is all down to our smartphone addictions (although how one taps those touch screens with inch-long talons is beyond me) – our nails are on show as never before. Tokyo is the breeding ground for the latest madcap manicures and apparently, 3D nails are the next big thing. Even T magazine’s Sally Singer is addicted; for the European fashion weeks, she opted for an elegant handful of miniature 3D roses in off-white gloss.
What do you think of 3D flower nails – eek or chic?

They would last five minutes on me before getting chipped. Nah, it's a bit 'too much'

I do really like the idea of 3D nails – these look supercute and understated. I saw an article in a magazine (which one escapes me) last night, and the girl had craaazy-massive 3Dness going on, which was a bit mad. Keep it understated and chic and I think it's a massive winner!

There's some serious 3D nail looks in Willow Smith's video.

Oh undecided as yet but am sure I'll be swayed at some point!

I like the look but have to agree with Roo Paprika, it'll last only about 5 minutes on me.

Erm, a little bit eel a little bit chic. Better than banana nails though… Http/ilovelipstick.co.uk
