Like so many of our fave nail trends, 3D nails were born in Korea, before they moved to Japan and then swept the globe. More recently, Kylie Jenner highlighted 3D nails in the mainstream with this dripping wet manicure for her Kylie Swim tease. Ever since we’ve seen a range of 3D nails on the red carpet and TBH, we’re low-key obsessed.
