This new nail trend is taking the internet by storm.

Nail enthusiasts have taken to Instagram under the hashtag #LongToeNails, to debut their long, sparkly acrylic toenails, Metro reports.

The nails vary in shape, size and colour, with some women even opting to do a long French pedicure.

Acrylic toenails aren’t as complicated as you might think, nail artist Carey Scott from Ohio in the US told Today.

“Maintaining acrylic on toenails doesn’t require as much attention as it does when you have acrylic on your fingernails,” Carey says.

“The toenail grows at a much slower rate than fingernails, so balances aren’t needed as often.”

But some people are taking more time to warm up to the idea.

“This is unsettling. Those wouldn’t even fit in my sneakers,” one person wrote on social media.

“I’m going to throw up. No, definitely a NO NO!” another said.
