Since we can remember, all women have been concerned about maintaining each element of our image. Hygiene, hair, makeup and clothing are just some of the most cared for, but one that we cannot neglect is our nails, with manicure and pedicure being a complement when it comes to looking beautiful. For this reason, we always try, in addition to showing off well-decorated nails, to do it in fashion with the latest trends and styles that are imposed around the world.
Many of us think that these trends appear on the catwalks or are simply the product of the eccentricity of some celebrities, but today this has changed. Social networks and the internet have come to play a leading role in creating trends in all areas of life, and one that does not escape their impact is fashion.
This is how currently the main social networks such as “Instagram” or “Pinterest” have created worldwide trends around a new style for nail decoration called “bubble nails” or bubble nails, as it is known in Spanish. Such has been the influence of the networks, that celebrities like Rihanna and Beyonce have joined this trend.
However, due to its current popularity, many would think that it was recently created, but the truth is that it has been with us for a long time. It appeared in 2009 in the beauty salons of Philadelphia, United States. But what is the “bubble nail” all about? And what makes it so attractive?
The «bubble nails» could be considered as a form of «nail art», in which several layers of acrylic enamel are superimposed and accumulated, to give the nails a rounded 3D effect, especially in the central part, trying to leave a layer finer at the edges; then the last layer is decorated and embellished with other elements.
However, depending on the cut that is made to the nail, there will be two different styles: with short nails it is called «bubble» or bubble, while the style with long nails is known as «hump» or humpback.
But not everything has been rosy for this trend, since it has also had its detractors, who claim that they look unsightly and, in addition, they would seriously damage the nails if used for a long time, due to the excess of enamel in each application. .
For all this, bubble nails could be an option to have a different «look»; although, in any case, the decision will depend on you. But remember that the hands will always have a leading role in our image, and a manicure can make the difference to look beautiful and fashionable. For our part, we will wait for time to pass to discover if this trend is here to stay or is temporary. In the meantime, we ask you: Would you paint your nails bubble nails? Or will she join the group of detractors?
