Korean syrup gels, a trend that has the nail art scene buzzing. If you've been wondering how to even use these type of gels then let's dive into it a little bit.

Syrup Gels are more than just gel polish, they are a popular nail trend from Korea, so they are not your ordinary gel polishes. They are a unique translucent gel, earning them nicknames like "jelly" or "glass" nails due to their sheer effects. What sets these gels apart is their spectrum of translucence-ness. The clearer ones are playfully called "jelly," while those leaning towards opacity are affectionately known as "milky."


Now, let's talk about the game-changing art trend they bring. These gels can be seamlessly combined with other gel types, such as glitter syrup gel or magnetic gel, which opens up a world of experimentation. Nail artists, particularly those skilled in soft gel techniques, have embraced the transformative power of layering sheer nail polish. Resulting in a subtle yet undeniably elegant gradation effect that has the hearts of many.


Think of these syrup gels as a versatile building block. When combined with glitter syrup gel, your nails can sparkle with radiance. Experimenting with magnetic gel opens up a realm of possibilities, creating designs that are both fascinating and unique. It's a canvas for creativity that goes beyond traditional nail art.
