Although manicure addicts may have experimented with the season’s metallic opal nails or embraced a set of quilted talons, it looks like a youthful new nail art look is set to dominate.

Known as pom-pom nails, the latest manicure to make an appearance on Instagram just may take you back to those carefree childhood days of arts and crafts. As part of this rising trend, beauty lovers are adorning their nails with colourful mini pom-poms.

With every colour of the rainbow on display, the pom-poms are glued to the nails in the same way that gems or decals would be. In fact, some mani maniacs are even taking the trend one step further, with tiny gems and brightly coloured nail polish to allow the pom-poms to stand out.

While pom-pom nails may prevent you from typing up that report at the office or even accomplishing some basic household tasks, it’s certainly a charming nail art look. If you’re willing to bring a quirky spin to your classic pastel manicure, it may be worthwhile to grab some nail glue and pom-poms in a bevy of colours.

Before you begin (quite literally) crafting your new spring manicure, take a closer look at the following examples of this creative and eye-catching trend.
