What Are Jelly Nails? Korean Glass Nail Trend Guide
Just when you thought glazed doughnuts and chrome powders had their moment, Korean jelly nails slipped back into the spotlight - glossier, juicier, and far more nostalgic than we deserve. Straight out of Seoul's nail salons and trending across TikTok, the look is sheer, syrupy, and light-catching in a way that makes your hands look instantly more expensive.
It's giving Y2K candy, K-pop backstage, and a glass-skinned girl with iced coffee in hand and perfect nails tapping on her phone. And now, Ezmio's Jelly Collection and Glitter Collection are back - bigger, bolder, and ready for Australian summer.
Why Jelly Nails Are Everywhere Right Now
Think of jelly nails as the lip gloss of manicures - glossy, translucent, playful, and effortlessly cool. They sit somewhere between skincare and art: juicy but clean, saturated but see-through.
In true K-beauty style, the trend plays with depth and light reflection - those soft, syrupy layers that make nails look like glass candy. Whether you go for soft pinks or electric greens, the finish feels fresh, not fussy.
And here's the best part - unlike regular gels, Ezmio's jelly formula self-levels like a dream, giving that 3D shine without the weight or bubbles. It's lightweight, buildable, and beginner-friendly - basically, the it-girl formula for your fingertips.
The Jelly Collection: Pure Translucent Glass
Cherry Crush
The red that launched a thousand screenshots. Bold and juicy, like biting into the perfect cherry. Translucent enough to build in layers but confident enough to make a statement.
Plum Punch
Rich purple with that semi-sheer finish that lets you control the intensity. Sophisticated but never boring.
Bubblegum Burst
The pink that gets it. Sheer, glossy, and exactly as fun as it sounds. Playground nostalgia meets grown-up application.
Tropical Twist
Radiant coral that brings the heat. The translucent formula means it works on every skin tone.
Lemon Lime
Neon green that's actually wearable. The jelly finish takes the edge off while keeping all the energy.
Green Gummy
Sweet, playful green that looks exactly like those gummy bears you're pretending not to eat.
Blueberry Blast
The blue that broke the internet. Cool, refreshing, and surprisingly versatile.
The Glitter Collection: Jelly-Like Translucency With Sparkle
Stella Santorini
The glittery goddess of the collection. Inspired by those white-washed Greek islands, this shade sparkles like sunlight on the Aegean Sea. The translucent base with fine glitter makes every gesture look expensive.
Ivy Ibiza
Purple glitter that captures Ibiza's party-till-dawn energy. The jelly-like base keeps it wearable for day, while the sparkle takes you straight to sunset DJ sets.
Mimi Miami
Hot pink glitter that screams South Beach. Bright, sexy, and totally 80s - this is your "stepping off the beach and into the party" shade.
Rosalia Rio
Orangey-pink glitter inspired by Rio's carnival energy. This eye-catching shade brings Brazilian beach vibes to your fingertips.
Cami Cancun
Pastel green glitter that's surprisingly sophisticated. Delicate enough for brunch, sparkly enough for beach clubs. The luminous finish creates a mesmerising effect that changes in different lights.
Bailey Bondi
Blue glitter that sparkles like Bondi waves. Being our local icon, Bailey brings that perfect Australian beach energy - fabulous with everything from your wetsuit to your weekend outfit.
Why Ezmio's Formula Hits Different
Both our Jelly and Glitter collections are made to self-level, stay sheer, and shine like glass. They're formulated to give that syrupy, high-shine finish without thickness or bubbles.
The Jelly Collection keeps it pure - translucent colour that builds beautifully. The Glitter Collection combines that same translucent base with ultra-fine shimmer particles that never feel clumpy or textured. Light-catching magic without the craft store vibe.
The Perfect Australian Summer Timing
While everyone else is clinging to their winter vampy shades, you're already in summer mode with jellies and glitters that make sense in 30-degree heat. These formulas look even better with a tan, survive beach days, and photograph like you have a personal lighting crew.
Whether you choose pure jelly transparency or jelly with destination-inspired sparkle, you're getting the K-beauty glass nail effect that's dominating feeds worldwide.
Pick your vibe: glass candy jellies or beach destination glitters. Either way, your summer nail game just got sorted.
