Glass skin, glass hair... it seems that the world can't get enough of these glowy, glossy beauty looks, so it's no surprise that this high-shine finish is making its way into the world of nail trends, too. We've seen chrome nails and milky iridescent nails making waves this season, but I've spotted another summer nail trend gaining traction, and I think it might just be the best one yet. Let me introduce you to the "glass French manicure".
It seems that two of my favourite nail trends have come together to create the chicest mani of all time. Combining a classic French tip with a mirror-like top coat, the glass French manicure makes your nails look impossibly glowy and put together.
Below, I've rounded up some of the most elegant glass French manicures out there, so sit back, have a scroll and make sure to have your nail salon's number at the ready...
