You Can Barely See the Newest Nail Trend—Translucent Plastic Nails
Much like clear shoes, see-through nails have risen in popularity recently. Typically made translucent via acrylic extensions, the style is a favorite of talented nail technicians who incorporate other elements onto the plastic nail such as fading flowers, mixed media, and other intricate designs. One of New York’s most famous nail masters, Mei Kawajiri—who works not only with celebrities but also fashion houses like Balenciaga—adorns plastic nails with a variety of drawings, inscriptions, fashion brand logos, crystals, and even chains and screws. Of course, such extravagance is better meant for photoshoots or celebrity performances than the everyday. Transparent plastic nails can also look restrained and elegant depending on the chosen design, use of colors and decor elements, and the length of the nails.
