Have you ever looked at someone's manicure and truly been amazed at the set they've managed to achieve? For one of the latest trends in nail design, it's all about a glossy look. Aptly called the "Glass Nail" trend, this eye-catching technique lives up to its name with high-definition gloss that makes your polish appear as if it could be cracked by one shrill operatic note.
So how does one achieve the look? Evelyn Lim, Chief Educator at MiniLuxe's Paintbox studio, says that it's all about the layering. "Glass nails are a layered manicure that is achieved by using magnetic gel polish and jelly color , finished with a high-gloss top coat that results in a super shiny reflective manicure." Lim recommends multiple layers of top coat, "to get a high shine that resembles glass."

String lights make any party brighter and more festive, and the same rule applies to your nails. This gold design features tiny stars and curved lines over a pink glass nail. It's a look that takes you straight to a garden party at twilight.
If you stare into these nails, I'm fairly certain you'd see all the way back in time to when butterflies first joined Earth's creatures. The glassy effect on this shimmery blue nail looks endless, and the additional decals on top create the perfect 3D effect.
Now this is a glass nail that says business on top, party on the bottom. The brown, two-toned design is chic and modern, features a matte nail top, a glass bottom, and a crisp separation between the two.
