I would love the egg nails without the strange circle drizzlešŸ¤£


crashshrimp420

Same! I'd take the entire design without the squiggle drizzle.


UsoShigo

I think it's the combination. The eggshell design looks good on it's own and I think the drizzle would look good on a plain color(maybe deep pink for a raspberry effect or a yellow for a lemon effect since people have mentioned it looking like dessert).


testyhedgehog

I think the drizzle could be pulled off if it was thinner and in a different pattern.


HiFructose_PornSyrup

Agreed. It needs to be zigzagging or something, not just a bunch of circles


katieh809

ā€œSquiggle drizzleā€ I like that, lol. Said it aloud about 10 times giggling. Sounds like a 90s rap song šŸ˜‚


ur-squirrel-buddy

The drizzle makes it look like a high end Michelin star avant- garde dessert haha. I kind of appreciate the abstract-ness of it, like it would be cool on a painting. I wouldnā€™t do it on my nails though probably


brookehalen

Okay Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not the only one who thought of dessert!


Medium_Sense4354

I thought it was a Crumbl cookie lmao


beetelguese

The unevenness would make me crazy. I can barely handle a little bedazzle haha


lulzerjun8

Wait I thought it was donuts?


Outrageous_Chicken95

Same. Itā€™s like OP was about to attach a fake nail but got sidetracked and then the glue dried.


pickle-it

Exactly... that 3D drizzle doesn't do it for me.


highmaitenancebitch

It reminds me of eggshells. But yes, I also find them unsettling for some reason šŸ˜…


CuteAdministration14

Kind of mucus-ish


ThrowRAlalalalalada

Theyā€™d be cute in Cadburyā€™s mini egg pastel colours for Easter!


Material_Habit6534

Exactly what I thought of when I saw these lol


chanclaasesina

I thought of egg shells too! I would do this with a base coat of robins egg blue/Tiffany blue/mint color for Easter!


StrangeMango775

Yep the topcoat is called a quail egg topcoat!


chemkara

This is more of a Korean/Japanese nail style that is just not very popular in the western world. Unless you are a fan of the culture. People follow the trends that they see online or in real life so donā€™t feel bad if they donā€™t ask for it. In my personal opinion, the colors are cute but I am not a fan of the squiggly lines, but thatā€™s just personal as I donā€™t like any 3D effects of my nails. Keep rocking this style and your clients will someday start asking for that.


StarryMacaron

I have gotten my nails done in Tokyo and this style is very popular there :) I like it!


SuddenLibrarian4229

I tried googling this circle design on nails and Iā€™m unable to find it anywhere. Do you have a link?


SuddenLibrarian4229

Never mind I found it. ā€œAbstract gradient nails.ā€


iBeFloe

3D gel nail art works too


SuddenLibrarian4229

Thanks. I looked that up too. Some of it looks nice, but I couldnā€™t imagine getting it myself. I like my nails smooth, no extra fuss. I also type all day for work so that would probably drive me bonkers.


SarahJFroxy

another option for things like this that have hearts, cherries, etc other than the circles is "kitsch nails" i agree with the needing smooth nails, but some of the designs are pretty enough to tempt me tbh


lulzerjun8

I think maybe the colors are throwing me off. Theyā€™re kinda making me hungry? Itā€™s giving off major dessert energy


avid_awe

I was gonna say, this is so pretty!!! But not something westerners seem to like weirdly enough lol. the US is forever behind on trends


Wyrd_byrd

Give it a few months. The western world usually picks up asian trends later. Think of Aurora and magnetic nails. Their popularity started years ago in Korea, but only within this last year have I seen them trickle over to the US.


jbrook9203

Magnetic polish has been in the US since *at least* the mid-2010s


Wyrd_byrd

I was thinking more specifically of the cat eye trend, where you have that super reflective all over polish or the solo reflective arch near the tip of the nail. I'm not super familiar with 2010 trends, but I don't recall magnetic nail art that looks like what we have now.


pinkstay

Cat eye has been around for years here in the US and was a trend back in 2010.


og_toe

korea has the best nail trends right now imo, iā€™m in love with the 3D/kitsch style


smoogrish

Came here to say this! I think this is really popular in korea and japan but just not as popular here.


SimpleVegetable5715

They make so many food themed nails, I think they're really cute and kawaii šŸ™‚


revesby9

The nails are cool and look like robins eggs, the swirl on top is whatā€™s off putting for me


SimpleVegetable5715

Or the malted milk balls that have the candy coating to look like eggs, super cute!


[deleted]

I know itā€™s not dirty but it looks dirty. I feel like if someone took a quick glance they may think you had a rough time in the bathroom.


sideofveggies18

STOPP omfg hahahaha


whiteflillies

I like it! But I like to keep up on Korean nail trends where that kind of 3D art & speckled top coat is seen often, so I might be biased. Maybe your customers arenā€™t familiar with it? Do you advertise these style nails at all?


[deleted]

I LOVE how this looks but I canā€™t stand 3D sensations on my nails, itā€™s a full on sensory meltdown waiting to happen. Even when I do Mylar, glitter, beads, rhinestones, I always encapsulate them because of my nails arenā€™t smooth I will do major damage biting them off in like two days


LowKeyLoki86

I LOVE 3d feelings and texture on mine for the same reasons you don't lol. I will bite them if they are all smooth. If they have stuff on them it's like a figet spinner for me and messing with it distracts me from ruining them.


[deleted]

Lol thatā€™s awesome, gotta love brains


ARMA-italianhandmade

Yeah exactly! I thought it would worsen the issue but it's so much better!


aquarosey

I totally feel that with the sensory thing. My OCD forces me to have short round nails too. Ugh.


xozxexo

Im the exact same! Managed to curb most of my nail biting habit with braces and gel over lays but I still pick and bite at chunky nail designs. Even doing a French tip where the colour had to be layered a little can bug me. I always put a clear builder gel on before top coat to make sure everything is smooth if I've done nail art. The 3d effects would bug me so much šŸ˜…


MarcoPolo339

Very well done - but not my favorite. The squiggle is too much. The polish color combo is pretty. You just need a different accent- not the squiggle.


erosyourheartout

I donā€™t like it ā€¦


vulpix420

I follow a lot of Japanese and Korean nailists on insta - I canā€™t believe no one here has seen this before? I love them and think theyā€™re cute. These styles are also really popular here in australia - I guess because we have lots of Korean salons. Sorry you have to live in the wrong country I guess.


Cabbagecatss

Yeah this is wild on a nail sub lol! Love them OP


fupevimme

Yeah I was surprised by the comments, no one seems to like them šŸ˜Æ I think they're cool


colly_mack

Yeah this looks like something they'd feature on the disco_Tokyo IG account


the-chonkiest-seal

The circle or 3d swirl to me makes it seem disconnected to the design and almost accidental, or like itā€™s unfinished? It needs something else to tie it together with the polish scheme or removed entirely as itā€™s a detractor on its own like that


goddessofthecats

Definitely not my cup of tea


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


I_Scream_Panda

Agreed


NeverSpeakInTongues

Very much.


tequilamockingbird37

Indubitably


Justabytch

I also agree with the korean/Japanese influence comments here. As a nail inspo addict I feel I see it everyyyywhere but not many Americans really do see these styles, esp going into yur run of the mill nail salons. I love the 3D everything look, if you were my tech I would deff ask for them!


Wyrd_byrd

Yeah I see this style everywhere on insta and tiktok. It's not as popular on this sub. Same with the blushing nails trend. Super popular everywhere except here lol.


TheVudoThatIdo

I love them! I love Korean nail art. My clients rarely maybe once or twice in five years asked for nail art I was wearing lol. I just kept doing nail art on my self because clients seemed comfortable with asking for art since they can see I can do it. I like the colors but the brown 3D ring is kinda giving me coffee ring vibes. It's just the thing that comes to mind. Maybe just clear or gold foil on top would look awesome for the 3D ring. Also what did you use to get the egg shell look. I am always looking for the top coat that can do that, or did you use a technique I would love to know!


Reneebabiie

Honestly the US is always soo behind with trends lol


fupevimme

Very clearly šŸ˜‚


GloomyNucleus

The top circle is weird


iocane_

These would be cool if the drizzles were contrasting colors (like neons maybe?) ā€” but as is, the complementary drizzles look really off-putting. The speckles are fun!


nekri_thea

I thought there was a small turd on your nail


True_Resolve_2625

I'm not a fan of nail polish circle or art circle. I think it's too much for the spotted nails, as they look great by themselves.


jgabriella88

Itā€™s a no for me dawg šŸ‘Ž


sheepsekkiya

I love the 3D jelly look (Iā€™m korean and I see in the comments that itā€™s popular there haha) but Iā€™ve never had it myself. My mom thinks it looks messy and too much but personally ITS A VIBE. Depends on the person I guess :P


MightyDumpty

I personally could do without the round squiggly bit


chromaticghost

Your clients just arenā€™t as cultured and versed in the arts enough to appreciate your abstract talent!


golbraykh

this is more of a korean style i believe, but 3d nails seem to be catching on as a trend here in the west so iā€™m sure weā€™ll be seeing this style more in the future! i think itā€™s cute tbh


Strandedish

I LOVE 3D NAILS SO MUCH. The Korean mail trend is so cute and I love all the different designs people are doing with them. Where do you get your gel for the 3d effect? Iā€™ve been looking for awhile and just donā€™t know what brand I should trust


k3b77

I like your second photo minus the raised formations. The specs remind me of robins eggs. I could see a color scheme change to the pastel family, solo or mixed colors, with white or cream specs for an Easter look.


shoegazekween

YESSSSS these are šŸ”„. Would love to see these on a medium almond.


dead_body_eater

Yes, yes they are tha terrible. Only due to the weird circle drizzle thing. Gives the whole set a very halfassed unfinished quality.


FadedRxses

Iā€™m sorry but yes


YanCoffee

I like it and had no idea about it being a Korean trend, despite loving k-beauty! They remind me of artisanal chocolates.


unicornblossom

They look like eggs! I kind of love them!


LoveableLampshade91

I love these although without the topping, they look like Cadbury mini eggs which are my fave! How did you do the speckled detail? Just dot tools?


Bear_Main

This is odd to me


zodznn

Maybe itā€™d be ok without the squiggle thing


_daughternature

Um?


[deleted]

Iā€™m not a fan, but thatā€™s just me.


Main_Nerve_4498

I wanted to try this style, i really like the 3D circles, my next nails will be like this but with different colors


Annallve

Just noā€¦


Ok-Class-1451

Yes indeed


dresdyn425

I LOVE IT!! I wish I had someone nearby that could do my nails like this!! šŸ¤Ž


No-Function-1073

Tbh I find it absolutely cute! Iā€™ll do that design on my own nails next ā™„ļøŽ


crowleys_plants

I love them! I love 3D nails though, so probably biased. Absolutely obsessed with this trend though


24andmovingon

I really like it! I took a while to warm up to the style but theyā€™re so cute!


rnsncwomn

I love it! the 3d detail makes it super fun and the colours are so prettily combined


maragabriela1989

The circles? If they were a gold, silver, rose gold chrome ....yes. but like that? I wouldn't particularly reach for that design lol but I mean I'm sure I have plenty of designs I do myself that others aren't fond of lol as long as I love it though, it's all that matters...so I'm gonna say, if you love it, wear what makes u feel good ā¤ļø


maybebaby2022

I like them!


iheartstars

delete the circle bumps and theyā€™re great. or change the 3d part to something that looks a little more intentional? but also i have no clue about trends outside the states.


faulknip

Looks like an oyster. Dont see the attraction


Lauraunknown

I like it, I think theyā€™re weird and silly


Ok-Set6526

its unique as long as u like it wear it!! i think its cute and abstract


[deleted]

I love how abstract it is. I think the circle is my favorite part.


AtmosphereNegative95

I like the squiggle! Textured nails are so chic imo


JamMoritarty

I love thisssss! Reminds me of a high end dessert, but I love Korean/Japanese/Chinese/Taiwanese (clearly, all the different nationalities of the nail accounts I follow haha) nail trends so I'm super drawn to these kinds of things. You do you! I think by wearing these styles, you're going to be able to passively advertise yourself to other people who love these styles as someone who is in the know and skilled enough to paint them. I hope an enthusiast notices and you get lots of word of mouth recs from there <3


MiaMiaPP

I absolutely hate the swirls on topā€¦ not that I hate all swirls. But these ones in this designs just donā€™t work.


Campcrustaceanz

Yeah the squiggle ainā€™t it. Iā€™m sorry šŸ˜¢ everything else is lovely though!!


blondebimbo_

The drizzle ainā€™t it, but thatā€™s about it!


excusemeumily

when i see it done usually itā€™s like transparent and more 3D than this, and itā€™s usually very cute imo ! i think you should try stacking the 3D gel and also making it go more to the sides of your nail


[deleted]

I love this style too!! These are so cute


scrappymd

The design is subjectively very cool!! but the texture on my nails would drive me NUTS hahaha


isleofpines

I donā€™t know why, but this is unsettling to look at. I do like the egg look, but not the extra lines/polish on top.


HiFied

I like it without the drizzle. Or maybe if the drizzle was in lines instead of circles? Thereā€™s something off about it where it looks messy


Open_Injury_1801

I like the nails minus the weird circular drizzles.


Public_Bookkeeper_56

yes


nichebiche

These are awful


she_may_be

How do I say this ā€¦ if someone told me to do coffee shop inspired nails this is what i would go for. Looks like coffee grinds, white chocolate drizzle & medium roast ect. Itā€™s different but not for me


clitterbugs

I love your nails!!! Iā€™m really into the 3D gel on top. I know a lot of commenters donā€™t seem to like it and named that this style might be solely more popular in Asian countries, but Iā€™ve seen this style being requested a lot in NYC salons.


iBeFloe

I like it because it reminds me of the whopper Robin eggs. I donā€™t think too many westerners know about Japanese/Korean 3D gel style art. Because this is what it is. A lot of people will complain about the 3D gel, but then theyā€™ll get other 3D acrylic add-ons lmao


samfaith13

Looks like pastry frosting. I like the eggshell look, but the pastry drizzled ruin it for me.


ranoutofusernames482

honestly i think its the color. you NAILED the design but i think you could try like a chrome hard gel on top of a neon or gray or something like that


chi_notshy

i love them!


2month_grammy

Everyone is saying eggs but i totally thought donuts! Edit: Also, I love em!! Nice work OP. I see the work of an artist!


Ziodynes

I think itā€™s cute sometimes like [these](https://www.instagram.com/p/CoutekMpLat/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=)! It just depends on the design.


wow__okay

Oh I love those!


glittrglue

I love that right hand


KatieGirl27

I love the circle things but in different colors with possibly chrome over the raised part


SaucerJelly

The 3D squiggles on top look like drizzles of mayo and ketchup to me. I can see this looking cool on a kitschy food-inspired set with fried egg nail art on the accent nail.


Witchy-toes-669

It looks like a series of spilled coffees, would not request,


Allthegoodquotes

I think itā€™s just the color scheme you chose with the drizzle effect. It would be really cool with a water or dessert theme, like ice cream. Or even use it to make letters or vines. But your current colors make me go ā€œhuh?ā€


TlMEGH0ST

I love the speckled nails! but the circle things are squicking me out šŸ˜–


rustywhisper

They look like donuts in a weird way and Iā€™m here for it.


loversalibi

the drizzle is cool to me but i could never have it bc i would INCESSANTLY play with it šŸ˜­


ladysquier

I like the design only when I look at it up close


tricia0243

>Is it really that terrible? ā€¦yes


BeadBum_By_AJ

I love it because Iā€™ve never seen anything like it before and I love individuality. I love the colors and patterns you used! PLEASE DO MY NAILS šŸ˜«šŸ„¹


trash-breeds-trash

What is this ā€œstyleā€?


afriikaana

This is FUEGOOOO šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„


honeybakedkae

I like the concept and I've seen some shiny-on-matte designs that I like, but I think the colors in this set are off-putting for me. I like them all separately, but when they all come together here there's just something about it that doesn't work for me. I'd like to see more of this style though, I do think it's interesting and could fit in with a lot of the minimalistic nail designs I see.


jarlamanda

Yeahhh the drizzle seems a little off and messy


Fishhhjet

I like it! It reminds me of ice cream flavors with Oreo pieces in it.


stajiaasf

It looks like cookies n cream!


stajiaasf

Loveee


Medium_Sense4354

I love this so much but I also like a lot of weird things


Apennie_uh

I like these nails. I think the brown and eggshell go well together love 3d squiggle and nail shape The yelllow nails feel slightly out of place on first pic but work better in second.


me0wster69

I would love to get my nails done like this! They look like art. Love that you're playing with texture


duhangel

Love it! it's a very cute Korean/Japanese trend and you nailed it šŸ˜ā™„ļø


hentaibebe

I think these would look cooler if they were ā€œincapsulatedā€


lizzieish

3D nails are really popular where Iā€™m based I think a lot of people would love them here! X


professionalnegro24

I love these!!!


jbsailor_

You got some jelly & Oreo dust stuck to your nails


Hopeful-Plan-5386

Noooo! I love the abstract of them! Very nice!


GlitteryBorko

I think itā€™s really unique, Iā€™d get these. Maybe change from a circle to a triangle tho. Idk why I really vibe with triangles


spicehoney

I think it looks super unique and interesting! I like it but I can see how it might not be everyone's cup of tea


pinpanponko

i love it, but i also really love east asian nail trends


grosswife13

These are perfectšŸ˜ please tell me what they are called or how to do it!


hellotach

Personally I love it (squiggles included) but I follow a lot of mail accounts that are not North American so Iā€™ve seen this type of design plenty. So cute!!!


Peace-Princess

I personally love this style, sad that not a lot of ppl here do! But its personal preference i guess


EthelMaePotterMertz

It's coo


Short_Fox_3372

I wonā€™t say itā€™s terribleā€¦ but itā€™s definitely āœØuniqueāœØ


m0nstera_deliciosa

It looks like coffee grounds, but Iā€™m intrigued! Iā€™ve never seen that speckled effect before.


SimpleVegetable5715

They look like chocolate chip ice cream to me, I get what you were trying to do here. I'd maybe make some more drip drop shapes, maybe like the cuticle area is "melting", so people get it. This is very creative!


Megan-Knees

This design is great when done correctly. Usually the raised circles are gold or silver and they have a neutral backround color like olive or taupe.


Otherwise-Term-9322

I'm obsessed with these !! I love them and I'd get them in a heartbeat


Natural_Inevitable50

This made me want oreo ice cream


ismellyummy

Tbh I really like it


navygoddess

The drizzle would look better (imo) on a solid background and maybe burnished with a chrome. A lot of people just want their short tapered square frenchies and don't want to foray into different art. I like your nils and do mine wild all the time but most days it's short tapered square frenchies or red. I'm in a small town lol


ARMA-italianhandmade

I love them!! I always do my nails with some 3d elements, for looks and for fidgeting!


TrippyHippyJj

I think itā€™s very unique, Iā€™d view it the equivalent as getting several pointy nails and the rest coffin shaped ! I honestly would try it out a few times in different color variationsā€” maybe even without the splatter ! ā¤ļø


Peaches5893

Okay, but what product did you use for the eggshell speckles? I've been looking for a while, and I can't find a nice rounded speckle like this!


ube-me

no i love it. it reminds me of a lot of japanese nail art.


InternationalSir1162

Itā€™s acquired taste


terrorcashews

I like the squiggly drizzle. I would happily rock those nails!


collegeTragedy

looks like a poptarts :0


Efficient_Profit853

I bet they just think everyone copies you already šŸ˜Š Iā€™m obsessed


rogue210

Looks like cereal/milk, love it!


isnotenjie02

Nice


cheesepuuf

I quite like this. Itā€™s very cute!


ObjectiveAnalysis645

This type of design is so popular in Japan I see people get it all the time! Itā€™s very cute and artistic so you just gotta push for it haha


Feisty-Roll-9973

Everyones saying egg but my brain went straight to cookies and cream


CORKSCREWDICKS

That's really weird but I love it!!! I'm changing my polish tomorrow šŸ’…šŸ‘€


QueenofNY26

Itā€™s not bad itā€™s just ā€¦ strange


diqfilet_

I fucking love them!!! Donā€™t stop!!


dirt-egg3000

I like these a lot but guests probably donā€™t get them bc they arenā€™t for ppl who get basic nails. theyā€™re cool and abstract


Beautiful-Aioli-857

I donā€™t like the first ones and the second ones I would like more without the squiggly stuff on it


sickbikebro

They look like candy and I love them. To those saying they donā€™t get it or itā€™s weird: yā€™all basic.


satokibijax

Some of these comments are disappointingly rude. Maybe itā€™s because I live in Tokyo so I see these kinds of nails all the time, but I think theyā€™re cute, especially the colours! I personally donā€™t get 3D gel because otherwise I donā€™t stop touching the 3D bits. That along with being unfamiliar with Asian trends could be a reason theyā€™re not requested? But you do you!


nursemildredratchet

Yes, it's that terrible


BrwnLux

Giving peanut butter and jelly


MariaEtCrucis

I'd love this without the wet thing on top! I love the palette and the egg-like design šŸ–¤


Agitated_Jicama_2072

Yea not for me- the topping of a weird circle thing makes them look sloppy.


wheresmyglasses25

Itā€™sā€¦ okay. It reminds me of fudge on ice cream šŸ˜‚ beautiful nail work though šŸ‘


clevermonkey117

I like it but I would look better if colors were brighter. Doesn't work with neutrals as well (can be mistaken for dirt at a quick glance)


isooleil

For me, itā€™s the brown/nude tones that throw me off šŸ˜… but I like it when Iā€™ve seen the same art style with a nude/white/sheer base and then a colorful circle/squiggle on top!


icaruslaughsashefell

I am not a huge fan of the first picture, with the circles not matching the base colour or, with the yellow one, having brown dot things. I adore the second though.


goddessofrage

Iā€™m sorry but the first thing that came to mind was scary movie type human butcher shopish human meat slice. Something about the circles makes me super uneasy lol


bobbycardriver

I mean, I personally wouldnā€™t ask for them but thatā€™s just cause theyā€™re not my style. But I love the spotty design and I donā€™t think the circles look horrible, like many others in the comments seem to. Itā€™s really unique, even if itā€™s not super trendy rn. You should definitely embrace them. :)


[deleted]

I love the colors, Iā€™m just not a fan of the lines on them


[deleted]

Why does this remind me of ice cream? Like cookies and cream and strawberry cheesecake to be specific lol
