Jelly nails
Who doesn’t want their nails to look like gummi bears? This jelly-like design may be semi-see-through but choosing a bright colour will pack a punch.

Pearl nails
Just in case you weren’t already oozing enough class. Also a great one for brides who are looking for something a little more fancy schmancy.

Give me ‘juicy fruit’ but make it ‘wavy’ – cheers.

I love the sunflower and wavy stripe design and they look like they'd work for short nails.
That last one is cute.
I can do multi-tonal nails at home.
