Fingernails that look like jelly - a heavenly dream! Transparent, colorful and extravagant - the Jelly Nails ensure exceptional nail design and are just the thing for real trendsetters. Transparent varnishes and gels are chosen for jelly nails, which decorate the nails with all the colors of the rainbow. Either colorful tips are used or the entire nail is painted accordingly so that the natural appearance of the natural nail shimmers through the transparent layer of color.
Money modeling & tips for jelly nails
The word jelly translated from English means jelly or jelly - and this is exactly the look that the popular trend offers. The jelly nails look particularly appealing in transparent summery colors such as cherry red, raspberry red, woodruff green, lemon yellow, living coral or sky blue. The look is best created by experienced nail designers, because this trend requires extending the natural nail with a tip. Either clear or already colored tips can be used. If the tips are clear, the entire nail can then be modeled with a cool jelly nail color. If the tip is colored, it is absolutely worth seeing on its own and the rest of the nail does not need to be covered with colored gel.
Tips for Jelly Nails gel modeling
To get the transparent, slightly tinted look of jelly nails with gel modeling, a transparent gel can be mixed with a drop of the desired color and applied, explains nail designer Stefanie. This means that the complete range of colors is available to choose from and the transparency of the jelly look can be individually tailored. Durability, stability and color brilliance are the plus points here. The alternative is a classic gel modeling with a transparent gel on which a translucent nail polish with a jelly effect is finally applied. This is particularly suitable for trying out the look, as the paint can be easily removed at home at any time. You can also change colors yourself.
Jelly nails for every season ☀️❄️
With playful lightness and a refreshing touch, the Jelly Nails offer an attractive alternative to classic, high-coverage gel models on the nails. Jelly nails in rainbow colors look great in spring and summer - they look particularly attractive on tanned skin. But the trendy look can also be used in autumn and winter. Darker, transparent colors, such as shades of red, make jelly nails a must-have for Christmas and New Year's Eve. For party events, the jelly nails can be given a special, festive touch with glitter and mica in silver or gold.

Jelly nails for the office 👩💻
Colorful nails in jelly colors are particularly suitable for summer vacations and leisure events. In the office, however, colorful nails are often not in demand.

This minimalist version is an elegant eye-catcher that is suitable for any outfit and, in the appropriate length, also looks good in the office.
3 reasons why jelly nails are so popular 🤩
High-coverage gel models and gel-look nail polishes have dominated nail design for a long time. The Jelly Nails with their unusual, transparent appearance provide variety and add zest to your choice of nail design. They also owe their popularity to the current 90s trend, through which the legendary style of the 90s is experiencing a revival. These include, for example, the so-called jelly sandals, which attract attention with their unusual appearance - many people still know these colorful rubber sandals from their childhood. The Jelly Nails take on this interesting trend and offer an “adult” extension of this fashion that everyone can wear.
1. A change from high-coverage gel modeling
2. Expands nail design choices
3. Trendy look in the 90s trend
3 questions for nail designer Stefanie about Jelly Nails
Semi-transparent nails in trendy colors - here you will find a few tips and tricks for jelly nails from our nail designer Stefanie.
ND24: Who can wear the Jelly Nails?
Nail designer Stefanie: In principle, of course, anyone can wear jelly nails. If you work in the office or in customer contact, you can choose transparent versions or subtle mica if colors are not desired. Overall, this extraordinary look must fit the style and the person themselves.
ND24: What difficulties are there in producing Jelly Nails?
Nail designer Stefanie: You can see the natural nail through the jelly nails - that's what makes the look. Both the natural nail and the gel modeling above it have to be worked out very neatly because everything can be seen due to the transparency.
ND24: Which nail shapes and lengths do you think go best with Jelly Nails?
Nail designer Stefanie: The jelly nails look good on all nail shapes, but they should have a certain length otherwise the effect will be lost. Personally, I would choose a long oval nail (almond shape) in combination with jelly nails. The look also looks particularly cool on Ballerina Nails.
