This trend is exactly what it sounds like: nails that have that shimmering, iridescent effect that brings to mind shiny cellophane. It’s a step below chrome effect, which might feel too blingy for some, for a more minimalist take on dazzling shine.

“Cellophane nails are the perfect look to try this spring as they are a playful way to elevate your everyday mani and are super on trend,” Juanita Huber-Millet, founder and creative director at Townhouse, tells Stylist. “This look is essentially an iridescent rainbow effect on your nails; it gives off a sheer, translucent finish with a shimmery effect, mimicking the look of cellophane wrap.

“This effect can work across a variety of nail colours, allowing you to match your nails with your spring outfits. Whether you want to add a pop of colour to your nails or create a subtle stunning look, cellophane nails are a gorgeous style to try this season!”
