Avant-Garde Furry Manicures

This Manicure Style is Designed to Bring a Soft Touch to Fingernails

Furry nails are the latest manicure style to raise eyebrows on social media. Exactly what it sounds like, this look offers lush fur atop painted fingernails.

A fad fit for angels or animal lovers, furry nails is a style that touches on one of fashion's most highlighted materials, fur. First spotted on Libertine's Fall/Winter 2016 runway, this manicure style is achieved by painting the nails with Vinylux Weekly Polish in neutral shades -- such as Rubble and Cream Puff -- followed by a topcoat that's finished off with brown or white faux fur.

Though entirely impractical, this manicure style outfits the nails with a luxurious winter coat that is very in tune with the season.
