I can’t get over how much like precious gems these nails look. They’re almost iridescent and have that glassy sheen of diamonds.
The optical illusion is absolutely captivating and entirely unique, considering that it’s only entered the trending list this year.
While you may think these nails are tough to master, the recipe is simple: Picking the right shades. Each nail has four shades on it.
One main color, a darker shade of that color for shadowing, black for the rim, and white to create the reflective effect. That’s really all there is to it.

Not many people will have seen optical illusion nails before, so they’re sure to be transfixed by yours.
If you’re worried about going DIY, don’t be.
While these nails may look next level, they’re actually delightfully simple to recreate on your own. All you need are the right shades and a steady hand.

These nails prove that you can be chic and groovy at the same time. They also show how you can squeeze many trends into one nail without things getting complicated.
Nothing short of impressive, these Autumn nails combine the gradient style with a cartoon effect.
The key to keeping things in line is to opt for the most neutral Autumn shades without clashing any colors.
Plus, be sure to keep the thumbnail completely black to ground the manicure.
4. Red Comic Book Nails for Christmas

I love just how in your face these nails are. They’re full of attitude, grab the spotlight, and never go unseen.
There’s so much attitude and sensuality in these nails that they’re giving Betty Boop. The key to making these loud nails really pop is to keep your nails long and either pointed or oval.
That way, you’ll have plenty of canvas to play with. The wider the black rims, the more cartoonish and stand-out the nails will look.
Just be sure to pick the richest and brightest color of red you can find.
5. French Comic Book Nails

These nails are just so stunning that I could look at them all day long. They combine the negative space trend with the cartoonish design that really helps the nail to pop.
The best part of these nails is the light bubblegum pink shade that is so girly and fun. I’m obsessed with this Autumn manicure and am definitely adding it to my must-try list this year.
That said, while it’s great for a day or night out, it may not go down a treat at the office, so be sure to check in on the nail rules before showing off these beauties.
