The nails trend of the 90s/early 2000s, flared nails also known as duck nails, jersey nails, wide tips just to mention a few is making an undeniable presence on social media lately, particularly Tik Tok and Instagram. This nail trend was termed as the ugliest nail trend in 2017 so why exactly is it making a comeback? Seems just like every other thing in the beauty world evolves, the “ugly” nail trend of 2017 has probably seen some modifications that makes it look way better than before.
The wide, triangular tips that resemble that of a fan, duck’s foot, or a pair of flared jeans are one of the most unexpected nail trends we’ve seen in a while. The over-the-top nail trend really saw a surge in popularity when rapper Danielle Bregoli, better known as Bhad Bhabie, showed off her french manicure duck nails on TikTok which has gained over 4.4 million views. Also they may be resurfacing because the Y2K style is making a huge comeback and this nail shape was popular then.
