Save your favourites for your next appointment, or send this to whoever does your nails.
1. Milky Glass (K-Beauty)
The look that started it all. A sheer milky wash with a glazed, glass-like finish straight from the Korean nail scene. Clean and lit-from-within on every skin tone.
2. Blueberry Jelly
Deep blue-violet in a translucent jelly finish, glossy enough to look edible. The high-shine, juicy end of the trend.
3. Navy Jelly
A short, see-through navy jelly on a natural nail. Proof the trend works just as well on shorter shapes.
4. Rainbow Glazed Jelly
Every jelly shade at once, blended into one iridescent glaze. The maximalist pick most likely to stop a scroll.
5. Fruit Salad Nails
Watermelon, kiwi, grape, and orange all on one hand. Playful, summery, and impossible to look away from.
6. Bubblegum Jelly Swirl
A translucent bubblegum base with a hand-painted swirl. Just enough nail art without tipping into busy.
7. Magenta Jelly
A short magenta jelly with that wet, candy-glass shine. Bold colour, low effort.
8. Rainbow Aura Bloom
An airbrushed rainbow aura with a sculpted 3D flower. This is the one everyone screenshots, and it is a must-try.
9. Cherry Cola Jelly
Deep cherry red with see-through jelly depth. The grown-up, moody take on the trend.
10. Nude Glazed Glass
A whisper of glazed nude over a clean base. The one you can wear absolutely anywhere.
11. Neon Garden
Neon green with tiny 3D dragonflies and florals. Full summer maximalism.
12. Rose Jelly
A soft rose-mauve sheer jelly. The everyday one, with the jelly finish doing all the work.
13. Pastel Flower French
Pink and mint pastel tips with hand-placed daisies. Soft, glossy, and very K-beauty.
14. Smoke Grey Glass
Cool grey chrome-glass on almond nails. Moody, futuristic, and endlessly photogenic.
15. Magenta Glass
A single-shade magenta glass so glossy it looks wet. Minimal and striking.
16. 3D Fruit Market
A full set of sculpted 3D fruit, watermelon, lemon, cherry, grape. The wildest, most-saved look on this list. Save this one.
17. Mint Jelly
Soft mint translucent jelly, the coolest, freshest shade for peak summer.
18. Baby Blue Glazed
Baby blue with a glazed-donut sheen. Calm, dreamy, and perfect for the season.
19. Pink Glass
Long pink glass almonds with a high-gloss glaze. Feminine and glassy.
20. Greige Jelly
A greige, mushroomy jelly, the quiet neutral that still looks expensive.
21. 3D Strawberry
A sculpted 3D strawberry accent nail. Cute, viral, and surprisingly wearable.
22. Blush Aura
A soft blush aura glowing from the centre of a nude nail. Barely-there and very in.
23. Berry Jelly
Rich berry jelly on long almonds. Deep, glossy, and grown-up.
24. Soft Pink Jelly
The easiest jelly of all, a sheer soft pink you can wear with anything.
25. Kiwi & Cherry 3D
Glossy 3D kiwi and cherry charms. The fruit-nail trend at its juiciest.
