Just when we thought celebrity nail artists [1] might run out of ideas, manicurist Chaun P. [2] started to post graffiti-inspired nail art to Instagram. The retro-looking trend is usually painted on in bright neon nail polish and might remind you of airbrushed graffiti t-shirts that were popular in the '90s and early 2000s.
The nail art is so popular that his celebrity clients like Lala Anthony and social media star Heather Sanders [3] have been spotted wearing the trend. We can't stop staring at his expert art, and many other artists have followed suit and posted their own graffiti nail art creations on Instagram.
Ahead, see the best graffiti nail art looks on Instagram that will convince you to try out the trend.
