It has so much depth, dimension, and movement, creating a unique finish.
Glass nails can be clear, or you’re able to add any other color on top.
The effect is incredibly unique and mesmerizing, shifting beautifully with the light.
How to Get Glass Nails
Unlike some elaborate nail designs, glass manicures are pretty straightforward.
The effect is created through layering polishes and finishes versus intricate art.
Gerstein says white and silver give the glass effect, though a pale gold can work, too.
Once the design is set, the nails are cured under LED light for 30 to 60 seconds.
Timing and technique play a huge role, and it takes practice to perfect.
Manicurists tapped into current trends will know what glass nails are.
