Ever feel like you just can't keep up with the latest and greatest makeup trends? From the right way to contour to the best all-natural ingredients, keeping up with the rules, the shades and the changes requires ample reading and hours of YouTube video watching. That being said, it's important to always be a critic when consuming advice, since not all nuggets of wisdom are helpful — or more to the point: accurate.

Every so often, a creative trend originating on Instagram unexpectedly takes the beauty world by storm. The latest one? Jelly nails, also known as "see-through nails" or "glass nails." They have translucent tips, tend to come in bright colors, are incredibly stunning and can be worn by people of all ages. That said, they remind us of the beloved jelly sandals a lot of us wore in our youth. You know, the ones that came in the cutest of colors and were typically sparkly. Iconic.

These overnight treatments act like supercharged moisturizers that work hard to repair and nourish skin while we sleep. So even if you spent half the night tossing and turning or scrolling through Instagram, sleeping masks will help you wake up glowing.
