This next big nail trend shows that there are truly no limits to nail art’s creativity

<p>There are always fast and exciting trends coming up in nail art, and the latest one has got us having a second take. Meet the water drop nails. This nail art trend&nbsp;features delicate water droplets over your existing nail base, as if you had water freshly spritzed after the bathroom, also reminiscent of early moments in the morning or evening with water dew drops condensed over leaves.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>But this time, they don&rsquo;t just last for brief moments in time, and they&rsquo;re held resolutely in place -- certainly an interesting and mesmerising nail look that is sure to elevate your entire beauty look!&nbsp;</p>

<p>Waterdrop nails, also known as wet nails or bubble nails, involve the placement of 3D embellishments, which look like droplets of water, onto the nails. A pioneer of this trend is LA-based nail artist<strong> Sojin Oh</strong>, who worked on this intricate piece of art with Japanese singer-songwriter <strong>Rina Sawayama.</strong></p>
