In contrast to the high-octane shine of chrome nails, glazed nails offer a more subdued yet equally elegant aesthetic. Also referred to as glass nails, glazed donut nails (a la Hailey Bieber) or jelly nails, this style involves layering sheer or translucent gel polish to create a glossy, glass-like effect reminiscent of stained glass or glazed ceramics.
The process typically begins with a clear or sheer base coat, followed by layers of colored gel polish or tinted acrylics. Each layer is cured under a UV or LED lamp before adding the next, resulting in a multi-dimensional finish that catches the light beautifully.
Glazed nails are prized for their versatility and understated glamour. They’re perfect for those who prefer a more subtle, sophisticated look that still packs a punch. With a wide range of colors and finishes to choose from, including sheer pastels, bold neons and shimmering metallics, glazed nails offer endless possibilities for customization and are the perfect elegant look for weddings, proms and parties.
