Fresh star stories with a cool online feel.

Glass French nails are made by using clear, acrylic nails or gel tips. After gluing the acrylic nail to your natural nails, paint just over where your natural nail would be (or under the acrylic nail, depending on the look you want) with a subtle pink shade, leaving the ends exposed. Then, add a clear coat to lock the paint in place and soften the edges of the nail, and the look is complete.

For the tried and true glass nail trend, we love how Instagram user @astrid.nailmaster achieved the look. The subtle length, combined with the subtle, skin-matching color, creates a look that appears effortless, modern, and pleasing to look at for the next several weeks!

Adding a dash of sparkle never hurts, either. We love how @nails_elisa6 on Instagram completed her French glass manicure with a coat of glitter. You can also add embellishments to the nail for extra appeal, for example, @magdagreavu on Instagram adds little silver beads and faux pearls to her glass nail look. And these "Beauty and the Beast" inspired glass French nails by @esme25sz on TikTok have all of the charm of the timeless look, with an updated feel. 

There are so many ways to try this stunning trend, and they're all just as dramatic as they are stunning.
