Jelly: Jelly nail polish is a type of nail polish that has a translucent or sheer appearance, resembling the texture and consistency of a jelly. Unlike opaque nail polishes that provide full coverage and opacity with one or two coats, jelly polishes are meant to be transparent and buildable.
They create a see-through or tinted look on the nails, allowing the natural nail color or any underlying layers to show through. Due to their sheer nature, jelly polishes may require more coats to achieve the desired opacity or color intensity.
Sheer: Sheer nail polish has a translucent or see-through quality when applied to the nails. It is designed to provide a subtle hint of color while allowing the natural nail to show through. Sheer polishes typically have a light, airy texture that gives a soft and delicate appearance to the nails.
Due to their sheer nature, sheer polishes may require multiple coats to build up the desired intensity or coverage. Sheer nail polish offers a translucent and soft color payoff, allowing for a subtle and natural-looking manicure. It is a versatile option for those who prefer a more understated or elegant nail look.
