Over the past year, we've seen a variety of nail art trends spread through the beauty scene like wildfire.

From marble manicures and shattered-glass nails to camo-print polish that looks cool AF, there's no shortage of awesome designs to try.

If you're looking for a new way to step up your mani game this spring, you'll be glad to know we just came across another nail trend that's heating up on social media.

Behold, "dragon scale nails."

As the name implies, this blazing beauty trend turns your boring nail polish into a scaly design inspired by your favorite fire-breathing creature.

So far, we've seen everything from glittery green nails and claws clad in colorful reptile skin to some magical manicures inspired by Daenerys Targaryen from "Game 0f Thrones."

Apparently, there are a few different ways you can achieve these fierce fingernails.

You can turn your nails into some dazzling dragon talons by using a layered dot technique, create some scales with a stencil, paint some polish over fishnet stockings or grab a fine brush and deck your digits out in a freehand plated pattern.
