How to apply marmalade for nails: basic rules
The application technique is quite simple - below we will discuss nail designs with marmalade step by step. The procedure includes several main steps:
- Get a manicure - process the cuticle, shape, polish and level the nail plate with a buff.
- Treat your nails with a degreaser, apply a base, dry for 1 minute in an LED lamp, 2 minutes in a UV lamp.
- Apply the selected color shade and finishing coat - each layer is thoroughly dried in a lamp.
- Without removing the sticky layer, pour colored sand, rub it into the nail plate, and remove excess material with a brush.
- Cover your nails with topcoat and dry for 2 minutes in a UV lamp (1 minute in an LED).
It is important not only to understand how to apply marmalade for nail design, but also to take into account an important nuance, which is the choice of colors. When choosing a shade, you need to take into account that in the dry version, sand looks slightly different than when applied to the nail plate.
Marmalade nails and other crazy spring trends
TikTok is bringing back to life seemingly long-gone trends: bright shadows, rhinestones in hairstyles, and now “jelly” or “marmalade” nails. Why are they called that? It's simple: this name appeared because of the transparent pale pink color, which most people associate with marmalade or jelly. The trend began its revival from the popular TikTok platform, where there are currently more than 140 million videos with the hashtag #jellynails. Even Kylie Jenner, who is known for her love of unusual manicure, liked the idea.

Making marmalade nails is very simple:
1) Prepare your nails for manicure. To do this, soak your nails in warm water, push back the cuticles and shape your nails into the desired shape. It is also important to apply a thin layer of nail base before applying the base color.
2) Add a couple of drops of red or hot pink polish to clear nail polish to get the desired shade, which should not be too bright.
3) Apply varnish in two layers. The first coat should be thinner than the second, and be sure to dry it well before applying more varnish. You can also decorate your nails with rhinestones or designs.
