Cotton candy

For something that’s both subtle and chic, try a sheer lavender hue. Simply mix a drop of pastel pink polish into a bottle of clear polish and apply a single coat. The result is a soft, glossy finish that’s ideal for both brunch and a day at the beach.

Clear intention

These sheer pink nails are exactly what you need if you like a minimalistic mani, but also prefer keeping it trendy. Clean girl aesthetic, but make it jelly.

Citrus splash

Not quite translucent, but certainly jelly-coded, this gradient mani will beat all Monday blues. Start with soft shades like ivory or butter yellow and build up with a touch of orange or red—but keep it sheer with just a single coat.

Fruit parade

This vibrant jelly mani will serve up sweet summer vibes, no matter the time of year. Think sheer pink, zesty red, lemon yellow, fresh green and bold purple—each one with a delicate fruit design. A tropical smoothie for your hands? Yes, please.

3D dreamscape

In case you’re a maximalist trying out a simple jelly nail, go for 3D details. But make sure you pair that up with the softest shades of pink and peach--and keep most of the mani translucent.
