How to get soft pink nude jelly almond nails at home

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File the sides in a straight line toward the center and round the tip softly, like the top of an almond.
  3. Apply a base coat.
  4. Build two or three thin coats of sheer soft pink nude jelly polish until the color is juicy but still see-through.
  5. Seal with a high-shine top coat.
  6. Finish with cuticle oil once everything is dry.

Pro tip: Jelly color deepens with every coat — stop when you still see a hint of the nail underneath.

Soft pink nude jelly nails: FAQ

What are jelly nails?

Nails painted with sheer, translucent color that looks like glass or candy — glossy and see-through.

Are almond nails strong?

They are stronger than stiletto because the tip is rounded, but the narrow tip is more fragile than square. Medium length with gel or builder gel is the sweet spot.

Does soft pink nude nail polish suit my skin tone?

Pick a nude or pink one or two shades lighter or darker than your skin for a “your nails but better” look; add a warm hint on olive skin.
