Nail Art Trends of 2012

by Kaitlyn Dreyling 0

Nail art has easily taken over in 2012, but of all the manicures we've loved throughout the year, the best ways to play with nail art came in three forms: textured manicures, stiletto nails, and 3D charms. While Ciaté led the textured nail trend with caviar beads, crushed velvet, and even sequins, the music scene made long almond-shaped nails hot, with stars like Rihanna, Lana Del Rey, and Fergie rocking the look. Lastly, the Japanese nail art trend of 3D nail charms has finally made a huge wave stateside. Celebrities including Zooey Deschanel, Bella Thorne, and Katy Perry have all accented their nails with three-dimensional charms, from bows to flowers. What was your favorite over-the-top nail art trend of 2012?
