Succulent nail art is the latest Instagram trend
Thought the crazy nail art trend had reached its peak? Think again. Your Instagram is about to become flooded with these seriously cool (and seriously impractical) succulent manicures – made from real plants!
Australian botanical artist Roz Borg first came up with the idea while making jewellery with tiny baby succulents. Using the same technique, she applied succulents to the nail with floral adhesive and loved the result. Photos of the unusual manicure quickly went viral, creating the global phenomenon now known as succulent nail art.
“People are stunned when they realize it’s real live plants, not 3D sculpting,” Borg told The Huffington Post. “Some people are grossed out, but most love it!”
And while this living manicure is certainly not low maintenance, those who dare to rock a real-life green thumb can plant their baby succulents once the adhesive wears off.
What do you think of succulent nail art? Would you try it?

Very cool! But I'm not sure how practical it would be in day to day wear

Clearly a lot of work went into this but I can't see why.

OMG - this is as unattractive as it gets, in my opinion and so impractical too. UGH.

Not really a fan of this nail art - and how impractical too, how would you use your fingernails to do anything

Oh goodness no! It reminds me of an episode of Grey's Anatomy that I saw recently where a young boy hand massive tumours on his hands. No thanks.
