How To Tattoo Your Talons

The inspiration backstage at Giamba AW15? "What would Cara D do?"

Mini icons were scrawled across models hands, faces and nails. While the face thing hasn't caught on (yet), tattoos are the hottest thing in nail art right now and the technique is surprisingly easy… Just watch and learn with our how-to.

Choose your favourite nail icons in either stark black or cool metallics. We used Bourjois but also check out nail tats from Nails Inc and Daisy Knights.

Go matchy-matchy with a repeat pattern, or make like a Giamba model and choose random icons for a cool take on the trend. We used a matching pattern on every other nail.

Use a top coat to seal your nail art masterpieces. Unlike real tattoos, you can remove and start again with a whole new set of designs.

If you want to be really clever, bring your jewellery into the mix with pieces that echo the designs of your nails. Cara Delevingne would be proud.

Make sure your base coat polish contrasts with your sticker colour - brights and whites tend to work best to show off your design to the max. Once your polish is dry, carefully place your icons on the nailbed with mini tweezers to avoid smudge accidents.

Manicures gone mad!

When you think you've seen everything that could possibly be done with nail art, manicure devotees prove you wrong.

Step forward the new trend blowing up on Instagram for 'bubble' nails, where acrylic is piled up on top of the nail and thinned out towards the edge.
Acrylic nails are usually about thinness, but with this trend it's all about bulk to create a large curve on the nail.
              The 'hump' nails are longer with more of a curve, which this woman has sprinkled with glitter
Women are choosing brightly-coloured polishes or layers of glitter over the acrylic to draw attention to the nails.

Hump nails are also gaining popularity - these use a similar technique to bubble nails but with a longer nail for a base.
The acrylic close to the cuticle has to be thinner, with the liquid gradually building up towards a bump in the middle, then thinning out again at the tip of the nail.

One bubble nails lover went one step further with the trend. She created nails which bend over her finger by using bubble nails with false nails attached to the tip.

None of the styles are recommended to be worn for too long though, as the huge amount of acrylic can damage the nail.

It has to be created in a nail salon but because it's not taught in beauty school,  technicians are having to teach themselves through trial and error.
Hawaiian designs and neon colours are popular, along with a gradient effect.
The curvy trend has existed since 2009 when nail art first caught on but has only just gained popularity.
            Putting their own twist on the trend, a nail technician creates sharp pointed talons
Thousands are now posting photos of their new 3D talons on Instagram under the hashtag #bubblenails.
The bubble base is just another way manicure fans are making their talons the focus of their look with jewels and patterns also piled onto the nail.
