While the cozy and seasonally appropriate trend of sweater nails may have announced its arrival earlier this winter, a new nail art look is set to take over fingertips this February. Quilted nails have officially taken Instagram by storm, and have started leaving their mark in a variety of bold hues.

For style conscious nail lovers who have an obsession with classic Chanel handbags, this new manicure trend will certainly be a winning fit. As an updated spin on sweater nails, quilted nails are textured and bear a resemblance to the iconic couture purses.

In an Instagram video, nail enthusiast Jeshika of obviouslyits_mynails shared a short tutorial which guides mani maniacs through the trend. According to her, quilted tips are achieved by preparing your nails with two applications of a base coat. Next, the nails are sealed with a fast-drying top coat and a matte top coat. To get an edgy quilted effect which channels the runways, use a flosser and carefully use the tool to create an indented design in your partially dry nails. Once you’ve crafted your fashionable quilted lines, complete your nail statement with a matte top coat.

Creative nail enthusiasts can also experiment with faux gems, glitter and a single quilted accent nail contrasted against a classic manicure. Whether you want to capture your inner style icon or simply replace your nude nails for a classy and cool alternative, this just may be a new trend to try now.
