Don't get bitter, get lemon nails! The chic nail trend taking over Instagram
Just when we thought 2017 was a fabulous year for nail designs, 2018 rolled around and taught us what's what.
We had the first weird trend of the year, which came in the form of blinking nails - definitely a sight to behold!
Then, outline nails and negative space nails took our breath away (in a good way), the K-beauty scene blessed us with some serious weirdness in the form of Snapnails and Switchnails and we’ve even seen a quirky tribute to Megan and Harry in the form royal wedding inspired nails.
Now we’re saving space in our handbag with a mani that doubles as a comb for hair styling in a hurry.
Here are the trends we've seen so far this year...

All your gal pals will be seriously bitter if you rock up with these super cute lemon nails to your next night out. Taking Instagram by storm, lemon nails are brightening up our timelines, just in time for the height of summer.
@nail_sunny / InstagramEdward... Combhands?
Keep your ‘do fresh on the go with a tooth comb mani from the queen of quirky nails, @nail_sunny. If we could just get a hair straightener mani on our other hand, that would be the dream.

We were all completely obsessed with the Royal Wedding or Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but these miniature models on a mani may have taken it too far...
@anouskaanastasia / InstagramRainbow tips
This negative space rainbow mani will be the perfect trend to try during gay pride – or any time of year!
@iparallaxe / InstagramGalaxy Nails
For a mani that's outta this world, galaxy nails are definitely the way to go. We like where 2018 is going!
@nail_unistella / InstagramSnapnail or Switchnail
Who'd have thought that we'd be clipping insects and all sorts on to our nails via a popper mechanism? Welcome to 2018...

It seems that outline nails are going to be big this year. If black and silver is your jam, this style is definitely the way to go.

Outlining just a section of the nail and combining it with colour is a gorgeous take on the mani.

If you're going for shock value, these blinking eye nails were the first trend of 2018 to really catch our eye. Shudders
