Check out the nail polish trends that have been approved by FKA Twigs.

If you are a teenager in the early 00s, you may remember the manicure magic of crushing nail polish. The Grunge effect has a place on Y2K nail art, highlighting-or (in some perspectives) destroying-the textured black design undercoat. Now, a new type of nail science is taking off, blooming gel nail polish. It can basically create the look of lava lamp nails without a lot of expertise in nail art.

A celebrity manicurist like Imarni is using Blooming gel nail polish, and she recently used this technique on FKA Twigs to create a kaleidoscope of moments (she captured this perfectly in a recent Instagram selfie). Generation Z beauty icons like Iris Law also demanded this. She chose to embellish her nude nails with diamonds with flower dots to consolidate her position as a new trend this fall.

The technique involves applying a translucent formula on the nails, then choosing a color design of your choice and applying it while the first layer is still wet. As the color spreads and settles, the result (very literally) has a blooming effect. Although it seems satisfactory, it is only a matter of time before this technology becomes fully popular.

The beauty of blooming gel polish is its versatility. Depending on how it is applied, it can create a series of different organic appearance effects, including snakeskin designs or thermal patterns. The way the polishing technology works ensures that you will get unique results every time.

If you want to try this technology at home, there are already many tutorials on TikTok to watch. The #BloomingGel tag has been viewed more than 40 million times, and videos of the technology went viral this month. The Blooming Gel of The Gel Bottle is a favorite of salons and can only be purchased by certified professionals. However, other brands provide polishes for budding DIY manicurists, including Luxapolish and Candy Coat. If you keep up with the trend now, you can become an expert before everyone else starts.

Since the trend is still fresh, many nail salons may not have bloomed gels, but just in case, it's worth asking your favorite manicurist. Chances are, they are also eager to try new techniques with the colors you choose. Get ready to watch them bloom before your eyes.
