Bold, flashy and totally unconventional. Blob nails are the new manicure concept that sees nails as the stars of the outfit and not as a complement, find out more in this article!

Literally, 'blob' stands for agglomerate, drop, patch. This nail art involves eccentric, three-dimensional artefacts built on the nail bed. It is the perfect opportunity to see the nail as the central focus of your style and not as an accessory to match, providing the perfect excuse to play with your nail plate in an all-round way. Blob nails embody a new vision of manicure that is sure not to go unnoticed. Discover the many ways in which you can experiment with this original and innovative design!

The three-dimensional colour clusters that characterise this look can be built up in any way, be it gel or acrylic. Clearly your nail will have to be strong and robust to withstand the slightly higher weight that this manicure implies. But don't worry, you can unleash your creativity even on a shorter length, just create smaller but still striking drops. It is not mandatory to create large patches of colour, you can create a dewy effect like Californian businesswoman Kylie Jenner. The famous fashion icon has often shown herself in public and on social media with her beloved Blob nails, created by her trusted manicurist Sojin Oh, the undisputed queen of this trend.

The founder of the famous cosmetics brand has chosen this whimsical manicure also for the advertising campaigns of her beauty product line, proving that this look can be declined in numerous versions according to your tastes and needs. If you still have any doubts, don't panic, you can do this nail art on press on nails that you can take off and put back on again whenever you like. In this way you will have gorgeous hands for anniversaries and special occasions, then remove them when needed. If you really don't like traditional drops, you can create similar clusters according to your outfit or the event you have to attend, even a wedding. Yes, you got it right, you can show up at the altar with unexpected nails and surprise all your guests. Singer Camilla Cabello attended a jet set wearing a wedding dress and this nail design in a 'wedding ceremony' variant. For the occasion she turned to the famous manicurist Tom Bachik, who has always taken care of the hands of Hollywood's most famous divas.

By now, international pop stars can't do without this increasingly popular style around the globe, even beauty icon Kim Kardashian has become an avid fan of this style. Rosalía, the most acclaimed Catalan singer of recent times, also often shows herself with this alternative and unconventional nail trend. In the music video of La noche de anoche, a collaboration between Rosalía and the Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, the Spanish artist showed off nails that are beyond imagination. Very long but not stiff, transparent and spiral-shaped, they are the real stars of her look in this video clip.

If this design intrigues you but you fear that it is strictly related to the summer season, don't worry because it is not strictly related to the warm season. Although less frequently, in winter you can see this nail art in a glacial twist, with cold tones at the base and transparent drops or round silver spots. In short, whatever the season is you can freely experiment as you like, without limits or boundaries imposed by the fashion industry. You can play around, try everything that comes into your head, and if you don't like it you can smooth out all the clusters you have built up and start again with other ideas and shades.

We hope we have provided you with enough ideas to inspire you. All that remains is to give free rein to your imagination and all the ideas that come to mind. In this case it is impossible to go wrong, the more daring the better. Make the most of it!
