Glass Nails

Make a written statement ON your nails! This is such a cool way to add a little personalization to clear glass acrylics. Spell out any word or saying you like, add rhinestones to the tips of each nail and you’re left with a pretty incredible design.

Bring a little edge to glass acrylics. Using black polish to create a cracked glass effect is a great way to achieve that edgy vibe. The French tip-like design aesthetic adds a little more interest to the overall look to really highlight the glass look.

Add some feminine edge to glass acrylics with black roses! Isn’t this so cute? Use nail stamps to make this really easy to DIY. Of course, you can always opt for a different color if black isn’t really your thing.

While many typically think of CLEAR glass acrylic nails, there are quite a few ways you can introduce different colors into the look. Here they added cool tones to clear acrylics to get more of a see through type of aesthetic. So fun!

Since glass nails are an incredibly blank canvas, it gives you a great foundation to build off of to add unique design touches. Iridescent flakes are a pretty easy addition but boy do they really add the style power to clear acrylics.

Another adorable way to add personality to clear glass acrylic nails. Butterfly glitter pieces mixed with glitter flakes = winning combo! We like that they left the base of the nails clear to give the nails that ombre like fading effect.

Complete your glass nails with a cherry on top – literally! We thought these cherry embellished nails were too adorable not to share with you. The cherries add gorgeous color that pop with easy over clear acrylics.

Much like any other nail design or trend a way to make it different is by changing the length and/or shape of the nails. With glass acrylic nails you can change up the look without using any colors, embellishments, etc just by playing with the shape!

How fun are these glass nails?! Adding a pop of iridescence to the top of glass acrylics gives this incredible dimension to them. Whether you use iridescent glitter or an iridescent finish over the entire nail you’re bound to have a fun mani.

The clouded effect added to these glass nails gives the look of texture and dimension in such a cool way. Don’t you think? Even though they only used subtle white tone, because of the soft swirl it allows pieces of the clear nail to shine through seamlessly.

Glass nails are the new way to add an unexpected pop to just about any nail design. We’re in love with this Dior inspired manicure. Naturally the Dior logo is a standout on these nails, but the way they added pops of glass nails to shine through makes it even more special.

Another fun glass nail design for the fashionistas! This particular design definitely highlights the glass detail more, by applying the fashion label logos with glitter pieces. The metallic glitter pieces really shine on glass acrylics.

Talk about stand out nails, right?! This is what we call nail art at its finest. As you can very well see the colors and design are pretty epic. We really appreciate that they created kind of a stained glass effect by adding a matte finish to the class acrylics.

We thought these nails were so cool. The ‘drip’ design has been getting pretty popular in the nail world, we’ve seen quite a few interpretations of the design but the use of glass nails was new for us. You can really make this your own using any color scheme you like.

We’ll admit, we’re suckers for a good glam manicure. There’s just something about a glam nail moment that gets us every time. This design was no exception to that. Glass nails with a stiletto shape are a standout on their own but they get a whole new persona with rhinestones.

Talk about an updated Valentine’s Day mani! Well, ok we’ll admit we think these heart nails are perfect any time of year. Placing heart shaped glitter, in combination with small glitter polish, just to the ends of glass acrylics creates this modern take on ombre.

Applying different finishes to ANY nail is a sure fire way to give the design, simple or complex, new life. Glass nails are included in that! Look at how cool clear glass nails look when they’re topped with a matte finish.

Aside from glass nails as we’ve shown you, one of the most popular ways people have been adapting the trend is with SEA glass nails. These are a perfect example of sea glass nails. As you can see they have that classic, well…sea glass look to them. We’re in love!

The matte finish is what really gives glass nails the ‘sea glass’ look. We thought this was such a unique way to combine sea glass nails with a rainbow color scheme. The soft color scheme shows that there is color but doesn’t overpower the glass element.

How hot are these glass nails?! See what we did there? We loved these nails as a great example to show you how changing the finish of clear acrylics can really change the entire aesthetic. Matte vs shine makes the world of difference.

Add color, in a whole new way, to your next French tip manicure. See through color, with clear acrylics, makes these nails anything but your average. They look great without the embellishments, but let’s face it – the rhinestones really amp up the style factor.

When we stumbled upon these glass nails we knew we had to share them with you. This is a nail shape we’ve NEVER seen before, but we’re into it. The unique nail shape highlights the clear acrylic, adding some edge and design that’s unexpected in a gorgeous way.

We’ve shown you quite a few glass nail designs where the glass, or clear, element was shining through a majority of the nails. This is a really interesting way to adapt glass nails, without the entire nail being left clear. It gives an ombre faded look like never before.

At first glance these look like solid, clear acrylic nails. Of course the shape of the nails is really stunning and adds some edge to the overall look, but when you take a closer look you can see the slight shimmer finish that really amps up the manicure.

We always love when people find ways to make traditional designs feel new again. Winter nail designs haven’t looked quite this chic in a while and we couldn’t be more in love. Painting white snowflakes onto glass nails = winter mani win!

These glass nails are incredible! As you can see all the details and design elements combined into one stunning manicure. This is a bit of a different take on glass nails, because there really is no ‘clear’ space. Instead they really adapted see-through look that’s so fun thanks to glass acrylics.
