TikTok beauty creators are trying their hand at jelly nails and loving it. The short-video platform has become a staple for social media users, especially those who like to stay on-trend. And with over a billion users, the app introduces new beauty trends almost every week. Earlier this month, makeup enthusiasts went crazy over the jawline highlight trend, inspired by Bella Hadid.
Jelly nails, however, take inspiration from the early 2000s and are a part of the y2k esthetic. People tint transparent nail polish with a colored one. The tinted nail paint gives a dainty, glossy, and jelly-like look to the nails when applied.
Jelly nails don't require special equipment
Jelly nails are fairly easy to achieve, all one has to do is mix a few drops of their favorite nail polish into a clear topcoat, and apply it on the nails. The colored polish adds a tint to the clear one, which becomes visible after a few coats. The final look resembles a jelly, translucent and shiny.
A few creators went a step ahead and added more elements to make it look even better. People with short nails can apply a clear nail extension to make their entire nail look transparent.
