While the mermaid tail trend wasn't quite practical enough to make a splash, mermaid crowns have a slightly better chance of catching on.

Thanks to Chelsea's Flowercrowns, a Melbourne-based designer with over 94,000 Instagram followers, fashion lovers everywhere are trying to get their fins on mermaid crowns.

Chelsea's Instagram is flooded with gorgeous photos of her intricate headpiece creations.

The mermaid crowns are certainly elaborate and elegant enough to stand on their own, but Chelsea's Instagram proves that they are even better when complemented with neon hair, sparkly eyebrows, glitter makeup, lavish nose rings and psychedelic sunglasses.

Chelsea's Instagram features more than just mermaid crowns. Indeed, flower crowns were her first love. Her handle is chelseasflowercrowns, after all.

And those flower crowns still make the occasional appearance.

If you're already mentally planning outfits around your new mermaid crown, Chelsea just keeps coming through. She also makes seashell bras and bustiers.

Chelsea isn't the only mermaid crown designer in the sea. We found a few other designers' mermaid crowns on Instagram, some of which are better suited to everyday wear.

Some of Chelsea's designs can be purchased on her Etsy shop.
