Each of the 10 nails is a little bit different in its design, featuring nails styled to look like [ebi, tako and tamago sushi](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funamori-platter-set) bites. Some of the pieces even look 3D, with tentacle and fish egg pieces that seem to want to pop right off of the nails. The unique set of glossy nails is fun and appeals to anyone who is even slightly sushi-obsessed, since it's so realistic looking. Mqmx666 shared her nail art on Twitter just three days into the month of August and since, her Twitter picture has already received over 15,000 retweets. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 91% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Food-inspired Nail Art:** The trend of creating nail art designs inspired by food opens up opportunities for nail salons to offer unique and eye-catching services. - **3D Nail Art:** The rise of 3D nail art allows nail technicians to create intricate and lifelike designs, providing a new form of self-expression for individuals looking for innovative nail treatments. - **Social Media-driven Nail Trends:** The popularity of sharing nail art on social media platforms creates an opportunity for businesses to leverage online presence and attract customers who seek trendy and attention-grabbing nail designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Beauty and Personal Care:** Beauty salons and nail studios can explore the trend of food-inspired nail art to offer unique and customized services, attracting customers looking for unconventional and creative nail designs. - **Art and Design:** The increasing demand for 3D nail art opens up opportunities for artists and designers to showcase their creativity in the field of miniature art, catering to individuals seeking artistic and visually stunning nail designs. - **Social Media and Marketing:** Brands and influencers within the beauty industry can capitalize on social media-driven nail trends by creating engaging content, collaborating with nail artists, and promoting nail art products, appealing to consumers who are influenced by social media trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Citrus-Inspired Press-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sumo-citrus-x-chillhouse.md) - [Sushi-Inspired 3D-Printed Confections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-confections.md) - [Supermarket-Inspired Nail Art Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/festival-inspired-nail-art.md) - [QSR-Inspired Nail Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mcdonalds-collection.md) - [Condiment-Inspired Manicures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mayo-mani.md) - [Pizza-Themed Nail Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emergency-pizza-mani-kit.md) - [Culinary Nail Polish Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dnd-yes-chef.md) - [AI Nail Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nail-designs-ai.md) - [Color-In Press-On Nails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tipzy.md)
