The Translucent Nail Trend Is Making Its Comeback In A Big Way

Posted by Tandra Barner on Monday, May 27, 2024

The fun and interesting designs that social media users have been adding to their translucent nails are one of the biggest ways this trend shows it's made a comeback. With this elevation, we've seen everything from glittery top coats and gold foil details to butterfly patterns and heart motifs adorning the glass-like bases of jelly nails.

A great example of this comes from @chjfilms, who shows off a DIY process of creating a jelly polish color using a few drops of red nail polish mixed into a bottle of clear polish. Shen then draws a few white hearts on each nail. Not only do we love the soft pinkish-red color of the translucent base, but we also adore the simple-but-cute design. This look would be great for a Valentine's Day-themed set, but it also has the perfect coquette nail vibes if you're loving that aesthetic.

For more ideas on how to customize your translucent nails, we love the butterfly shapes encapsulated in the multi-colored look from @issa.nailcessity, which provides a really playful vibe to the overall set. The sparkle-shaped stickers shown off in the look from @colorbarcc similarly bring a special touch to the blue jelly color that makes the eye-catching design all the more fun. Otherwise, feel free to experiment with adding your personal favorite pattern to your jelly nails.
