ButY2K fashion staplesare back with a vengeance.
We’re talking about mini skirts, head-to-toe denim, and velour tracksuits.
The return of Y2K is not just in clothing.
It has infiltrated nail trends, too.
Jelly nails are all the rave.
The style was inspired by the classic jelly sandals from the mid-80s and ’90s, according toEssence.
These plastic sandals were clear, colorful, and often glittery.
The best thing about this design is how easy it is to recreate.
According toFrench Vogue, this style only requires two materials: clear nail polish and bright-colored polish.
For the perfect manicure,Bustlerecommends using bold colors and forgoing pastel shades.
Unless you’re one of theroyals forbidden from wearing certain nail polish colors one can dream, right?
Rich colors will dilute better with the addition of clear polish, whereas pastels will turn milky.
Try applying jelly polish on your nail tips for a spin on the French manicure.
Or why not double down on the Y2K inspiration and throw in some rhinestones and smiley faces?
