Logomania nail art is taking over Instagram. Here are our favourite designs...

While some nail art designers are using the logos to create an accent nail on an otherwise neutral or negative space manicure, others are going all out bling and boujee, painting logos on every finger and sometimes going so far as to add on jewels and other 3D effects.

And although the artful designs may take a lot of practice and require a high level of concentration (not to mention a steady hand), it's a relatively easy way of showing your affiliation to a certain designer. Other options include, adding decals or creating transfer stickers using your at home printer. It will all depend on how DYI you really want to get, or how much time and effort you're willing to dedicate to it.

Opinion is split on whether the trend is chic or cheap, with critics claiming that it devalues and cheapens the brands while advocates insist that it's a great way to democratise luxury and have a little harmless fun experimenting with beauty. What do you think of the burgeoning trend?
