Tabi Nails Trend: Fashion’s Most Divisive Manicure
If there’s one thing the internet loves more than a new aesthetic, it’s a fight. And right now, that fight has ten fingers in it. Enter the Tabi nails trend, a manicure that splits your nail bed down the middle, imitating Maison Margiela’s iconic split-toe shoe. Yes, your hands can now match your favorite cult footwear.
Why Tabi Nails Work
Tabi nails are not about beauty in a traditional sense; they’re about fashion energy. The Tabi nails trend signals that you’re in on the Margiela cult. They’re a micro-performance, like a thrifted prom dress worn to brunch or sneakers styled with couture. Weird, uncomfortable, but unforgettable.
They also guarantee attention. Imagine sipping a cocktail, flashing your little hoof-inspired manicure. Boom: viral moment.
Why People Hate Them
Critics call the look “farm animal chic” or “fungal cosplay.” The manicure is polarizing, impractical, and possibly terrifying to Uber drivers everywhere. But isn’t that what makes it iconic? If everyone liked it, it wouldn’t be fashion; it would be fast fashion.
GLAZECORE Verdict
At GLAZECORE, we say YES to the Tabi nails trend. Not because it’s flattering (spoiler: it’s not), but because it embodies fashion in 2025: playful, controversial, and just a little deranged.
Would you dare to split your nails for the culture?
