There's no doubt 2016 was the year of all things glitter—and
it started with the glitter-tears fixation that trickled from the faces
of models walking in the [Burberry Fall 2016 runway] show. Then there
was Pat McGrath's lip kit, the discovery of Lemonhead's epic body glitter, and even something called Unicorn Snot. But now, there's a glitter-tears manicure, here to placate any worries that the sparkly trend would die anytime soon.
[post_ads]As MarieClaire.com
first spotted, jewelry designer Marisa Jiwi Seok posted several
Instagram images of what appears to be nail art reminiscent of the
glitter tears we spotted on the Burberry runways. Although we can't be
sure that Seok was inspired by Burberry, the resemblance is totally
there—and we kind of love how she riffed on the backstage-beauty moment.
Seok's negative-space designs, as you can see below, feature
multicolored flecks of glitter; above, a slew of rainbow-hued crystal
midi rings glam up the entire 'gram.
Aside
from bringing back sparkle-filled memories of 2016, the most appealing
part of this design is just how damn easy it is. There are no intricate
lines or shapes included, making this a fun look you can easily
re-create at home. Your essentials: a simple clear basecoat plus your
favorite bottle of confetti nail polish. That's it. And although
glitter polish has been known to be a bit of a chore to remove, the ombre design leaves you with way less cleanup afterwards.

For those of us with less-than-stellar DIY mani skills, the glitter-tears manicure trend has us crying actual tears of joy.
