Jelly nails are officially a 2025 staple – glossy, semi-sheer, and perfect for layering. From blush tones and candy reds to pistachio fades and cosmic swirls, these 30 designs prove the trend’s not slowing down. Scroll for see-through sets worth adding to your saved folder.
1. Blush Effect
Jelly nails are taking over, and this pink set totally nails the K-beauty vibe. Glossy, soft-glam perfection – perfect for layering chrome stars or decals. Use Olive & June Pink Jelly and dab extra color in the centre with a sponge for that dreamy blush effect.
2. Pistachio Green
We’ve seen the clean girl manicures – but this pistachio and milky white version is for the ones who want a little more color without going loud. The semi-sheer finish keeps it light and glossy, with that jelly smoothness that’s all over your feed.
3. Glazed Donut
This is what happens when jelly nail obsession links up with a chrome filter. The high-shine glaze melts over a see-through base for that ultra-slick dewy nail touch. Add tiny white florals, and you’ve got soft girl vibes with a trending update.
Deep navy gets the jelly treatment, and the result is polished without being too soft. Micro polka dots and a single bow accent give it that coquette-meets-dark-academia look. Moody, detailed, and works especially well on short nails.
5. Marble Effect
Say hi to the guava nails trend – bright, juicy, and seriously fun. The pinky-red color layered with that soft marble effect? Iconic. Use a thin jelly polish like Butter London’s Jelly Preserve in Strawberry Rhubarb and dab in some white polish for that watercolor swirl.
6. Cherry Accents
Syrupy red nails with a glossy, shiny finish? Instant eye candy. The translucent base keeps it jelly-coated, while the cherry decals lock in that fruity trend Instagram can’t stop tagging. It’s rich, playful, and 100% juice-core.
7. Yellow Nails
Proof that mustard yellow can be cute and cool. The jelly texture gives it that glass-like, tinted look we’re all into right now. It’s Dijon-core with a glossy upgrade – kinda weird and already showing up on your IG carousels.

8. Polka Dots
Polka dots are fully back in the game – and this black and white mani is a win. The glossy black jelly base makes the white dots pop in the coolest way. Kylie Jenner and Dua Lipa have already co-signed the dotted comeback, so you know it’s trending hard. Spotted, dotted, and serving.
9. Mocha Mousse
If you want a neutral mani that still feels current, mocha jelly nails are the move. Go in with a couple coats of sheer brown to get that soft, buildable tone, then finish with a high-gloss topcoat. It’s minimal, smooth, and way more interesting than your usual beige.

10. Colorful Mani
This fruity mani is giving peak color theory. Green, yellow, pink, and white all wrapped in that glossy jelly finish? Obsessed. Add in those dragonfruit flecks and you’ve got the most fun summer nail palette happening right now. It’s giving color-block, but in a juicy way.
11. Black Ombre
This black jelly fade pulls off moody and wearable at the same time. That semi-sheer base lets the dark gradient look layered instead of harsh, and the gloss levels are next level. If you’re craving depth without going full goth, this ombre mani is the answer.
12. Neutral Nails
For a clean look with just a little sparkle, try a translucent neutral base layered with fine shimmer. The jelly finish keeps it soft and glossy, while the shimmer gives it a subtle glow that catches in the light. It’s an easy upgrade to your go-to neutrals and still matches everything.
13. Deep Plum
Deep plum mani that’s giving smoky quartz energy. The marble swirls pull inspo from natural stone textures, while the jelly finish adds richness without feeling heavy. It’s glam, moody, and perfect for cooler months. Try layering a wine-red jelly polish over a lilac base for dimension.
14. Red Floral
This bright red jelly polish looks fresh, glossy, and totally vibe-checked for summer. The sheer layers give that juicy wash of color, while the tiny floral accents and gold foil bring just enough detail to keep things cute without overdoing it. Great mani for sunny days.
15. Lavender Mani
Lavender is one of the softest shades trending in 2025, and this see-through version keeps it fresh and wearable. Go for a translucent lilac base and add white daisy accents to a few fingers for contrast. It’s a simple way to play with color and detail.

16. Gray Mani
Gray nails are the cool-girl neutral this season. Start with a sheer, smoky base to get that soft-glaze effect, then layer in silver star decals for a tiny bit of edge. The glossy finish gives it that slick, shiny look without going chrome. It’s low-key celestial and works for any shape.
17. Sunset-Inspired
Pink and orange = peak summer pairing. This jelly gradient is giving popsicle vibes without being cutesy. Use a sponge to blend Sundays No.13 with a hot pink jelly like Holo Taco Jelly Bean Pink. Seal it glossy, and you’re good.
18. Cherry Red
Cherry red nails are the versatile shade we’re all hoarding right now. Not too bright, not too deep – just that perfect glossy red that works no matter the season. The juicy shine seals the deal, especially for pre-fall when you want rich color without going full vamp.
19. Grape Texture
Fruit skin nails are one of the coolest trends we’ve seen lately – and this one goes deep. That plum-berry jelly base layered to look like grape skin? So good. The finish is wet-look glossy and ultra smooth, and it’s all about that slick texture play.
20. Blue Mani
Polka dots are in, but this isn’t giving costume -it’s giving vintage cool. Use a jelly blue as your base, then add dark navy dots on a few nails to break it up. The contrast hits different with the translucent finish, and it keeps the whole set looking fun.
21. Cat-Eye Effect
This mani mixes the soft-glow cat-eye effect with just enough sparkle. Start with a neutral jelly polish, add magnetic shimmer for that lit-from-within vibe, then finish with scattered chrome stars and micro dots. It’s smooth, reflective, and super easy to wear.
22. Skittle Nails
For the girlies who want colour without going full chaos, this sheer skittle set is the move. Each nail gets its own juicy shade – lavender, mint, aqua, lilac – and the jelly finish keeps it light and glossy. It’s perfect for warm weather manis. The colorful mani era? Still going strong.
23. Pink Aura
Pink aura nails aren’t slowing down, and this glossy version just turned the volume up. The sheer base fades into a brighter centre, then gets layered with chrome stars and silver gems. It’s giving Sailor Moon meets soft glam – sparkly, flushed, and totally main feed material.
24. Orange Celestials
This orange jelly set brings serious Y2K energy with layered swirls of orange and peach plus gold star decals. The soft tint finish gives it that smooth, dimensional look that works for both beach days and festival fits. Use Cirque Colors Jarritos Jelly for that punchy orange base.
25. Natural Nails
This is the clean girl nail formula that never flops. Start with a neutral base and fade into soft vanilla white at the tips – simple, sleek, and low-key addictive. These give “I book my own facial appointments.” No nail art, no chaos, just that ultra-glossy finish.
26. Green French
Green French tips already pop, but when you make them jelly and throw in tiny gold stars? Chef’s kiss. The base keeps everything weightless while the tips glow like a neon constellation. Dreamy, sharp, and lowkey cosmic-core.
27. Solid Nails
This cool-toned pink with a hint of lavender hits that sweet spot between soft and statement. The jelly finish stays smooth and glossy, while the muted orchid shade makes it feel calm and elevated. It works with everything – silver rings, breezy fits, and soft glam makeup.
28. Bronze Shimmer
Glitter girls, this one’s for you. Deep bronze jelly base + magnetic shimmer = smooth cat eye finish that shifts in the light. Bonus points for the subtle sparkle – it’s rich without being loud. You get that golden hour energy without dipping into full glam.
29. French Aura
This is the way to make French tips feel brand new. Go for a clear jelly base, fade in a soft coral glow toward the centre, then top it with clean white tips. It’s fresh, punchy, and totally balanced. Coral’s trending again for summer 2025, and this is how you wear it.
30. Mix & Match
Jelly nails meet full-on maximalism. Bright pinks, corals, and greens layer under 3D florals and fruit art, all on a glossy base. The see-through finish keeps it juicy, while sculpted details add that playful edge. It’s bold, fun, and totally different.
