Jelly Nails How-To
According to HelloGiggles, jelly nails are quite simple to do (though it's probably best to get them professionally done unless you're a master at nail art). Start off "by applying a clear translucent tip to the nail or sculpting it with a clear extension like hard gel." Then "paint on a translucent bright (or not-so-bright) polish."

As cute as jelly nails are, though, they can easily look a bit kitschy if overdone. If you want to try them out but want a more classic finish, here are six ideas to consider. Feel free to show them to your manicurist before trying them out.

Alternate complementary colors on each finger for a lively look. Add gold dots around the curve of each nail for an extra bit of coolness.
