This design features a sheer, glossy finish that gives nails a nearly translucent, jelly-like appearance. The versatile look pairs beautifully with bold patterns or neutral tones and suits any nail length or shape.
Achieving the jelly effect is surprisingly simple at home. While you can purchase sheer jelly polishes, you can also mix your favorite nail color with a clear base or top coat to create a custom, glossy wash.
1. Jelly Nudes
Opt for a neutral shade to let the jelly effect truly stand out. We adore this tan-pink hue ($7.99)—combine it with a high-shine top coat for a dazzling, glossy finish.
2. Sparkling Jelly Set
Elevate your look by pairing a jelly polish with a glittery top coat. This creates a nearly holographic effect that’s effortlessly stylish.
3. Red French Jelly
We’re constantly finding ways to refresh the classic French manicure, and these red jelly tips might just become our new favorite. The vibrant color combined with the glass-like finish makes this French mani anything but ordinary.
4. Confetti Jelly
There’s an undeniable charm to a confetti-inspired polish—combine it with a vibrant pink and a jelly finish, and you’ve got a festive look right at your fingertips (literally).
5. Pink Jelly and Florals
Combine a glossy jelly pink with delicate floral designs for a charming manicure ideal for spring and summer. If you’re not confident in your nail art skills, try using nail art stickers for an effortless yet stunning result.
6. Watercolor Jelly
We adore blending various nail art styles and trends, and this jelly-watercolor combination is a perfect pairing. What’s more, this design suits any nail length or shape—making it incredibly versatile.
7. Logo-Mania Jelly
The most affordable way to showcase your favorite designer? On your nails, naturally.
