There are several ways you can sport this style, she says, with many loading their nails up with cutesy cupcake-style charms to create an extravagant look. For a slightly more pared-down version, you could recreate a classic French manicure with the nail shape serving as a good contrast for the over-the-top aesthetics of the shape. Other interesting ideas include choosing a theme you’d like to recreate across your hands, with each nail telling a part of the story, or simply painting them in a bright, vibrant colour to let the shape do the talking.

The duck-feet shape can be created in two ways, Menon explains: “If your nail stylist has suitable tips, these can be affixed to your nail bed. Or, the stylist would have to use nail forms, which are placed under your nails and act as a temporary base for applying gel or acrylic. The stylist can then build your nails to your desired length and shape. The forms are removed once the nail is built.” She warns that the shape is unwieldy and can be impractical depending on how often you work with your hands.
