Bubble nails first appeared in the US a few years ago, but they have been getting serious Instagram attention in the last few weeks. Also referred to as "hump nails" (if they boast an elongated tip), the trend involves sculpting acrylic gel onto the nail to create a dome shape which is then filed down to create a short, square and very arched shape.
Typically, the bubbles (or humps) are painted in bright bubblegum colours and adorned with glitter, shimmer or, in some cases, fake pearls and gems.
