This year has given us more amazing nail art trends than we can count, but it definitely saved the best for last. 2D nails will make you feel like you’ve been transported to the pages of the comic book, but what exactly is their deal and can you make them on your own?

2D nails are also known as cartoon nails and comic book nails, and that tells you everything you should know about them. To give your nails a two-dimensional effect, you’ll have to paint black and white lines around the edges, mimicking the drawings from the comic book.

Despite looking pretty next-level, 2D nails aren’t that difficult to recreate after all. A few black-and-white lines on the parameters of your nails will do the trick, and there are so many different styles to choose from.

2D nails are usually done with neutral colors, such as black and beige, with a matte finish. This look emerged as the biggest hit because it’s most reminiscent of comic book pages, but the sky is the limit when it comes to customizing your 2D manicure.

From glittery and ombre looks to 2D French nails, options are pretty much endless, so head to Instagram for some more inspiration.
