The jelly manicure is everywhere this spring. Coming from Korea, this trend gives nails a syrupy, transparent, almost juicy effect, without falling into too much makeup. It’s chic, fresh, very natural, and perfect when you want well-groomed hands without wearing an opaque color. Jelly polish becomes that little beauty detail that makes a simple manicure much more modern.
At Manucurist, the Sugar Plum Jelly jelly varnish takes up this vibe with a translucent pop pink color with orange undertones, between peach, sweet pink and tangy candy. A single coat gives a light veil. Two or three coats intensify the color, while maintaining that glossy finish that is the charm of the jelly manicure.
The jelly varnish which gives an ultra chic syrup effect
The Sugar Plum Jelly jelly varnish plays on transparency. It does not cover the nail like a classic varnish. It lets it show, warms it up, gently colors it, then adds an almost gel shine that makes the hand look sharper.
Its real strong point is its modular rendering. With one coat, the result remains very natural. With two, the color becomes more visible. With three, you get a semi-opaque finish, more pop, but still light. The Sugar Plum Jelly shade keeps this peachy pink blend very current, pretty with gold jewelry, a white shirt, a flowing dress or a very clean manicure.
Manucurist also adds the practical side. The application is advertised as beginner level, with a professional quality brush, beautiful pigmentation and extreme shine. The polish air dries and can be removed with a mild nail polish remover. It’s simple, clean, and much less intimidating than a fancy manicure to replicate on your own.
Why is this jelly manicure so popular in spring?
The jelly manicure is popular because it gives the impression of naturally more beautiful nails. No too strict color, no heavy finish, no frozen effect. Just a fresh shine and a rosy undertone that wakes up the hand. Sugar Plum Jelly works especially well in spring, when you want something bright, but easy to wear every day.
The Green™ range from Manucurist also focuses on a cleaner formula. This jelly polish is vegan, cruelty free, 9 free and contains up to 84% organic ingredients. It is also Made in France. To optimize hold, the brand recommends applying it over the Base Coat Green, then under the Top Coat Green. With this routine, the hold can last up to 7 days.
To obtain the prettiest result, it is better to apply thin layers. A base, one to three coats of color, then a very shiny top coat. The drying drop can accelerate drying and nourish the nail contour. The jelly varnish thus keeps its mirror effect, without losing its transparency or its fresh side.
