Who doesn’t love a quirky new nail trend? From cute lemon nails to full-on neon coffin nails, the new trends never fail to surprise us.
Now, lava lamp nails are full-on trending and they are bringing back major ’70s nostalgia. The colorful, bold trend is inspired by Alec Cole Hinz’ “Aquarium Nails” and we can’t get enough.
The look was created by nail artist and technician Liam Peter who captioned his initial post: “Lava lamp nails!! Let’s start a trend!”
“The inspiration literally came from realizing that a lava lamp is the same shape as a long, almond-shaped nail,” Peter told TODAY Style. “I just thought if the lava lamp looks like a nail to me, then I could make a nail look like a lava lamp!”
“The process was a fairly simple one, really, as long as you got a couple things right,” he said. “Start with a long and crystal-clear nail, and layer good quality glass or jelly polish with a really bright neon.”
