Jelly Nail Polish Designs

We love a good throwback nail trend, and jelly nails are full of nostalgia. If you grew up in the 90’s you probably remember things like jelly shoes that were incredibly popular. Jelly nails really encompass that jelly vibe we all loved in the 90’s, just on our nails! If you’re wondering what jelly nails actually are chances are you’ve probably already seen the trend floating around. Another way to describe jelly nails is see through nails. Scroll through our list here to get a better sense of the jelly nail trend AND check out some epic jelly nail polish designs.
