The lacquers and gels used to create the colourful, translucent trend you've seen across Instagram should go on sheer (without having too thin of a formula), and set with a high-shine finish and durability that compares to its opaque counterparts. It makes sense that many of the looks on social media have been created by pro manicurists, but we've found the nail polish colours that fulfil all your jelly expectations at home. Check out some of our favourites, ahead.
