For manicure maniacs who are looking to incorporate a touch of glamour into their summertime nail art, try taking your cues from the latest Korean beauty trend. Known as bracelet nails, the look of bejewelled nails has officially caused a sensation on social media.

Beauty lovers are adorning their fingertips with tiny shimmering charms, which are being placed over clear or white nail polish. These little faux gems bring a decorative finish to the fingernails, which explains the bracelet like inspiration behind the emerging trend.

For anyone looking to return to their schoolgirl days, this playful mani just may be a whimsical touch for Summer 2016.
