5 Products To Achieve Perfect Jelly Nails

Jelly nails are a big trend right now. They include vibrant polishes that can be worn on their own, layered for added depth, or paired with other colours for endless creativity. They have a subtle sheen to them, meaning they can stand alone or can be used as a saturated topcoat. Find an all-in-one product or use two polishes to achieve this chic nail style. Here are 5 perfectly pretty jelly nail polishes. —Jennifer Cox

Essie’s apricot jelly, $13

A deep orange jelly nail polish with black undertones, you can wear this new essie shade alone or layered with other polishes for a deliciously juicy nail art look. This new collection of jelly polishes comes in nine new fun and unexpected shades, from neutrals to brighter hues. They add some sleek loveliness to your hands.

Aries nail polish from BKIND, $16 with a clear topcoat (found here)

Even if you’re not an Aries, you’ll love this rich plum shade from BKIND. It applies seamlessly, dries quickly, and gives you a long-lasting, luminous finish. Add their clear topcoat to give it that jelly-sheen everyone is after.

Essence Glossy Jelly Nail Polish, available at Care To Beauty, $4

What really makes this polish stand out is its super high shine. It comes in four lovely pinks (we adore Candy Gloss) and goes on easily without streaking. The fun part of this polish: it has a delightful smell too.

OPI Feelin Myself nail polish, $14 with a clear topcoat (found here)

This shimmery hot pink polish just oozes feel-good summer vibes. Even though it already has a lustre to it, a clear finishing topcoat really gives it a true jelly look. It has a smooth application and is long lasting too.

Gucci nail polish, available at Sephora Canada, $45

This is a brilliant, intense plant-based varnish that comes in an array of shades (pictured is Lucy Baby Blue). It boasts long-lasting shine and yesteryear glamour all in one curvy bottle. And because of its glossiness, it can stand all on its own.
