Nail trends that should not have been...

It's no secret, nail art has exploded in recent years and whether you went along with crackle, caviar or feathers on your digits, these styles by the way are still out there and somewhat popular, it seems that there is no end to what companies will come up with to make you spend your money either in a salon or a store. I thought it would be fun to show you a few that I do believe should not have been...


Duck nails...

Also called dolphin tails, flared nails, fan nails or whatever, this style seems to have been around since 2008. I think it's time it disappears unless it's for Halloween! Oh and yes, this has been spotted on feet as well! If you google Duck nails you will see pictures of this and let's just say I personally find it extremely unattractive!


This is as close as I will get to duck nails! 
You can see more pictures on Headstyle, here.


Bubble nails...

Hmm I wonder who thought of that one! This picture below is from 2009 so I don't really know when these were in! I have no words for it! Imagine doing the dishes with those!


More on Nails Mag, here.


Stiletto nails...

Ok this one really scares me! Imagine you scratch your back while you're sleeping... I guess I would wake up all bloody in the morning! This trend has been seen on Lady Gaga and Rihanna and although they kind of wear it well, I don't see this style as being practical in real life. A little too dangerous for my taste!

What do you think about these trends? 

Have you seen them on anyone?

All = Awful. I also don't like raised items added to nails like flowers .. you'd get your nails caught on everything .. ugh, would drive me crazy.

OOO gosh why did people ever come up with these? I'm more than a little scared! If any of my friends ever does this, I'll disown them :p Or at least talk them into their senses!

Goodness, none of those for me thank you very much. It might work for celebrities since they have some sort of a persona to maintain, but it's just too much for every day. Wait, scrap that. No. Just no on anyone. Bleh!

LOL I agree with you Lily 100% except maybe for Halloween and even then. :)
My recent post Nail trends that should not have been...
I so agree! These are awful! I have a friend who has had stiletto nails for years. They're dangerous weapons and so not practical!

Oh Gio this style is just too much! As it happens, yesterday I saw someone with these, working as a cashier!!! I was fascinated at how she could work with those.

OMG, that was the funniest post I've seen in forever! Those bubble nails just grossed me out. Look away! And the stilettos unfortunately are becoming a serious trend, just not for me.

This is such a fun topic!
I agree with everything you said. I am quite conservative in choosing my nail colors; my nails are usually red/fuchsia or beige.
I am not a fan of any of the nail trends in the picture above haha..!
