It’s mermaid-worthy

Move over mermaid waves, a new ocean-inspired beauty trend is taking over Instagram and it couldn’t be prettier.

Introducing: waterdrop manicures.

The look features delicate, 3D beads of clear gel nail polish designed to look like – you guessed it – water droplets.

From minimalistic takes on the trend featuring droplet-embellished feature nails to maximalist drip-splattered designs, there are so many ways to wear the look.

Check it out.

10連休も最終日となると疲れが‥🤣 庭も改修したし、ハンモックも買ったし、行こうと計画していた事は大体達成したので親子で大満足でした😊 今回はパラドゥの#ラニカイビーチと#カカアコスウィーツを使いました。ラニカイビーチを思い出しながらまた行きたいなぁ〜🌺 水滴ネイルも久しぶり〜＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ #セルフネイル#セルフネイル部#ネイルサークル#パラドゥネイル部#パラドゥ2019ss#旅するネイル#水滴ネイル#selfnail#instanails#nailstagram#seanails#waterdropnails
