Step by step: milky white jelly nails

  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 milky white jelly polish until the color is juicy but still see-through.
  5. Seal with a high-shine top coat.
  6. A drop of cuticle oil at the end makes the photo-ready difference.

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

Milky white 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 milky white nail polish suit my skin tone?

Milky whites look fresh on every skin tone; on deeper skin they create a striking, clean contrast.
