A Pro Explains Exactly How to Get the Jelly Nail Art Trend at Home

If you don't have sheer nail polish on-hand, Elle suggested creating your own. "Jelly nails can be made with clear nail polish and just a few drops of color of choice," she said. "Start out with a bottle of the clear polish and add drops of color until you get the 'transparency' of the color. Once the desired coloring is reached, paint your nails as you normally would."

If you wanted a mismatched version of the look that uses different hues on each nail, Elle said you will need a new bottle of clear nail polish (like the Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Clear Coat ($2)) for each new color you're creating.
