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.
Glitter:
A glitter nail polish is a type of nail polish that contains small particles or flakes of glitter suspended in a clear or colored base. It is designed to add a noticeable and prominent sparkle to the nails, creating a dazzling and eye-catching effect.
Glitter nail polishes can be used alone for a bold and festive look or layered over a base color to create various effects.
When applying glitter nail polish, it's important to ensure even distribution of the glitter particles by using smooth, thin coats. Some glitter polishes may require multiple coats to achieve the desired opacity or coverage. Additionally, a top coat is often recommended to smooth out the surface, seal the glitter, and provide a glossy finish.
It's worth noting that removing glitter nail polish can be more challenging compared to regular nail polish due to the adherence of the glitter particles. Soaking a cotton pad with nail polish remover and placing it on the nail, then wrapping it in aluminum foil or using nail polish remover wraps can help facilitate the removal process.
