You Aren't Really A Unicorn Without 3D Unicorn Horn Nail Art

You aren’t really a true unicorn yet without the iconic unicorn horn on yourself, and the least ridiculous way to sport a magical, holographic horn without looking like you’re wearing a party hat would be to have them on your nails. Because where else, right? 2016 has been a year for nail art, artists have evolved from ombré nails (news flash, this is now a beginner’s skill) to an edgy shattered glass effect nail, and in 2017 — 3D unicorn horn nails.


This really is the pinnacle of all unicorn beauty.
The horn is created using liquid acrylic to mimic the spiral effect of the magical thing, and then decorated with over-the-top embellishments. Most artists go over the nail-and-acrylic creation with holographic powder, but if you’re feeling extra (then again, nothing’s ever extra when it comes to unicorns) , feel free to pop on glitter, pearls, gemstones… whatever your unicorn heart desires.
