After coffins, daggers, and stilettos, it’s now time for the humble duck to find its way to nail-art inspo, courtesy an all-new nail shape that resembles webbed duck feet. The shape is essentially an inversion of the traditional nail shape, as it flares out from the end of the finger, instead of tapering in.

The polarising style isn’t an entirely new one, however. In fact, back in 2012, reality TV star Snooki from Jersey Shore made it a part of her signature aesthetic. “At the time, they were known as fan tips or flared tips. The 2021 update has a few notable changes however, and nail art lovers are making the most of the extended acreage to create interesting designs,” shares Nitisha Menon, a nail artist and founder of Nailed It By Nits.
