If you’re sick of searching through done-to-death styles and designs for your next popping manicure, look no further. Transparent nails are here to save the day.
Whether you have a formal event coming up or you’re just looking to revamp your usual manicure, everyone should try out transparent nails at least once.
The looks can be made into the perfect style for any occasion or holiday, so your imagination can run wild on this one. Typically, transparent nails are done using acrylics so that the nail itself can actually be clear.
The most common way of styling these interesting nails is with literally anything shiny – from tiny jewels to gold leaf, holographic powder, or any kind of glitter, transparent nails are the sparkle lover’s playground.
One of the most beautiful ways to style a transparent nail is by creating a glitter gradient.
This is achieved by adding a solid layer of glitter at the top of the nail and slowly thinning it out until there is no glitter on the lower half of the nail.
The final product is like a glamorous take on the classic french tip nail. It’s bold, beautiful, and still sophisticated enough to show off at any event.
Another great way to put together a transparent nail design is by adding a small design in a dark color. The rest of the nail remains transparent or very lightly layered in a soft pink or white.
Adding the dark and intricate pattern over the transparent nail creates a beautiful contrast and really allows the pattern to pop to its full potential.
Whatever event you’re preparing for, transparent nails are sure to steal the show for any woman.
