Though, it’s not just nail polish that’s adding to the trendy look of everyone’s talons. Glitter, sparkles, stickers, and anything short of a living creature that can be glued in place has been, or can be, tried.

It started with celebrities like Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, and Zooey Deschanel, all known for being glamorous A-list stars with signature styles that more often than not challenged the conventional limits of the everyday look. Zooey famously used Twitter as a platform to Tweet a photo of her tuxedo style nails at the 2012 Golden Globes. Since then, every day girls all over the country have visited her site, Hello Giggles, to send in photos of their best nail designs. In a world of fashion, where everything has a price, and more often than not a high one, it’s easy and affordable option to try nail art.
