Nailed It


JELLY NAILS ARE BACK AGAIN

Experts share how to modernize the nostalgic nail trend for spring.

In the early ‘80s, Jellies were the shoe of the moment. In the ‘90s, the
rainbow-colored sandals came back into fashion. And just last year there was yet
another resurgence. There’s a pattern of nostalgia here — the same one that’s
happened on our nails. Right now, jelly nails — with the same translucent
concept as the coveted sandals — are the manicure of spring… once again.



Though soft and sheer pastels aren’t groundbreaking for this season, the way we
are wearing the color palette is. “The Y2K vibe has a futuristic twist [with the
3D designs],” says nail artist and educator for V Beauty Pure Noodle Yess.
TikTokers are definitely on board: The #jellynails tag has 427.4 million views
and over 16 thousand videos (just in case you need some references).

If you’re not the biggest fan of nail art, New York City-based nail artist Julie
Kandalec says this is the perfect way to “wear a nail ‘look’ without it being a
literal design.” For instance, several coats of sage green polish with a glossy
finish resemble an apple Jolly Rancher. “It's pretty and feminine,” says
Kandalec.

In their most basic form, jelly nails are easy to DIY, which could be one reason
the trend keeps coming back. After prepping your nails with a nail grooming set
(this one from Tweezerman is a favorite) Kandalec says to apply one to four
layers of jelly nail polish. The fewer coats you apply, the more transparent
your manicure will appear. Plenty of polish brands have jelly formulas in their
lineups: We love Cirque Colors, Lights Lacquer Cherry Jelly, and the new JinSoon
Glazed Glass Collection. It’s one way to brighten up the typical clean girl mani
of the past.

While you can certainly stick to this simple iteration of the look, amongst
those aforementioned 16 thousand videos on TikTok you’ll also find a number of
modern 3D jelly nails enhanced with designs like swirls and bows — globs and
water-like droplets are also popular iterations. The 3D jelly nail trend began
in Korea and Japan and has steadily been gaining popularity stateside thanks to
mesmerizing manicures created by nail artists like Miki Higuchi, Nic Tran, and
Fleury Rose.

To create these patterns New York City-based nail artist Elle Gerstein suggests
using builder gel like V Beauty Pure Diamond Gel. "It’s got a thicker viscosity
so you'll have to cure it [with an LED lamp]," says Gerstein. Dip a thin nail
art brush in builder gel and paint on your desired pattern before curing. Add
more layers (curing after each one) to make your design thicker.

Regardless of whether you go for a single-polish manicure or something more
intricate, Kandalec predicts lilac, peach, cherry red, and ocean blue will be
the trendiest jelly shades as we head into the warmer months, though the entire
rainbow is certainly on the table. If you can’t wait to get your hands on a
special jelly polish, you can create the look with any regular nail lacquer: Mix
a few drops of your favorite nail polish color with clear nail polish to achieve
the perfect sheer shade, says Kandalec. (This only works for regular polish; if
you prefer a gel manicure, Kandalec recommends the Kiara Sky Gel Polish The
Jelly Tint Collection.)
