For manicure lovers who are tired of pom-pom nails and are officially looking to embrace a trend with sharp edges, the squareletto manicure may be a welcome change.

This rising nail trend merges the aesthetic of a sultry stiletto nail with the practicality of a classic square-shaped talon. As a happy medium between the two very different manicures, squareletto nails have been ruling social media and are causing a sensation on Instagram.

Although all the variations on the squareletto mani feature elongated and polished fingernails, beauty lovers are also adorning their claws with unique embellishment. From glittering rhinestones to intricate Swarovski crystals, squareletto manicures are making an appearance in various forms.

Staying true to the colour scheme of Spring 2016, pale pink and brilliant blue hues are reigning supreme for this emerging trend. If you’ve been craving colour and are feeling ready to rock a bold set of talons, it looks like it’s officially hip to be square this season- no pun intended!
