A jelly manicure is defined by what you can see through it. Colour is built in translucent coats, so depth comes from layering rather than pigment, and the nail keeps a wet, glassy look that opaque polish cannot fake. Cherry and berry shades are the most requested, but the same technique works in neutrals and greens. Because the finish is sheer, the natural nail underneath shows, which means prep matters and regrowth is far less obvious than with a solid colour.
