16 Examples of 3D Nail Art

If you don't mind beads, characters and even bite-sized heavy machinery protruding from your nail beds then consider making your next visit to the salon a 3D nail art extravaganza.

Today, painting your nails a magnificent shade of royal blue isn't enough to grab people's attention. As beautiful as that glowing sheen of indigo may be, will people remember it when they leave you? If you're the sort who loves attention and counts on your manicures to enact a response from your fiends then this year go big. Amp up those boring fingernails by turning them into a field of green with tiny people and minuscule trees resting on top of them. 3D nail art can also be as easy as piling on mounds of glittering jewels.
