What exactly are Jelly Gel polishes? Similar to creams, metallics, and opalescent finishes, the term "jelly" describes the texture of the formula once applied. The unique aspect of Jelly Gels is that they provide a burst of sheer color and a high-gloss shine, reminiscent of lip gloss, but designed for your nails. If you prefer to conceal your visible nail line, consider applying a base color first or layering multiple coats of Jelly Gels to achieve a more opaque, three-dimensional effect. On the other hand, if you are interested in a trendy way to showcase glitter or create a cat-eye gel effect, we recommend trying a "Jelly Sandwich." This technique gives the illusion that the glitter is suspended within the polish rather than sitting on top.
