Step by step: lemon yellow 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 straight, then round the tip evenly so it mirrors the shape of your cuticle.
  3. Apply a base coat.
  4. Build two or three thin coats of sheer lemon yellow 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.

Lemon yellow jelly nails: FAQ

What are jelly nails?

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

What is the difference between oval and almond nails?

Does lemon yellow nail polish suit my skin tone?

Butter yellow suits fair and deep skin alike; mustard is best on warm undertones.
