Just when we think they can't possibly come out with anymore viral nail trends, we are proven oh so wrong. We've seen period nails, corkscrew nails, and most recently jelly nails. Obviously some are more wearable than others, but this new nail trend is one we can totally get on board with!

Negative space nail art has been appearing all over Instagram this summer.

To achieve this look you basically just paint a fun design over a clear base.

(Or hey, if you lack the talent, nail stickers totally work too!)
It can be as simple as a colorful outline.

Or more detailed like this amazing comic design!
