The most extreme nail trends of 2017, from the mesmerising aquarium craze to bizarre nipple nails – would YOU be brave enough to try them?

WHEN it comes to nail art, it seems the options are endless.

Vagina nails were the latest trend to explode on social media, but what do you think of these nine wacky crazes from the year so far?

Succulent nails

In a trend which goes way beyond nail art, women are actually sticking live plants on their nails.

Succulents are drought-resident plants and they are pretty hardy.

But that doesn't mean they will survive very long stuck onto your acrylic nails.

Seashell nails

Given the recent obsession with everything to do with unicorns and mermaids, it's hardly surprising that seashell nails are now a thing.

With gems and pastel hues, they look pretty stunning - but we can't imagine the ridges and bumpy texture are very practical.

Vampire fang nails

If you're looking for Halloween inspiration, this is probably the trend for you.

The burgundy-coloured, razor sharp claws have taken gothic chic to a whole new level - and only the bravest among you will be able to pull this look off.

Werewolf nails

Having been created by the style director and founder of trendy CND Jan Arnold, these furry nails are any thing but a joke.

They would look great with a werewolf Halloween outfit, but you would probably turn a few heads on public transport.

If you're a fan of the furry nails, but not the wolf-like look, there are subtler versions in white and other colours available.

Lego nails

Lego nails is the trend all 90s kids have been waiting for.

To recreate this look - simply paint your nails in a block Lego colour, add six pieces of glitter or small round gems while they're still wet, and paint over the top.

Aquarium nails

Like a snow globe at your fingertips, aquarium nails are all about the liquid glitter which moves up and down the nails.

They are decorated with gems and stars, and made using two separate fake nails - with a water-filled 'aquarium' between the two layers.

Nipple nails

Back in June, women started 'freeing the nipple' by displaying them on their nails.

With a spiral design and 3D dots in the middle, this has to be one of the most bizarre looks of 2017 so far.

Manicurist Mei Kawajiri is the brains behind the design, which even includes piercings, and the picture of her original creation immediately went viral on social media.

Spiral nails

Not to be confused with the handy DIY item, spiral nails are super-long and incredibly eye-catching.

To create the look, cover a long acrylic nail with paintable acrylic, and then use a straw to remove the long nail when dry.

Pom pom nails

Pom pom nails are every cheerleader's dream come true, and they do look very cute.

Sadly they're "completely impractical", according to nail art photographer cassmariebeauty - who's sported the look herself.
