They don’t involve any actual glass, but are actually pieces of cellophane that are layered onto the nail and painted over.

New things: Kurva stack rings from fave Indonesian jewelry designer @fromtinyislands and DIY glassnail stickers from @modinail_official & @unistella_by_ek_lab colab. Super affordable chic! ????#modi_unistella #fromtinyislands #kurvastacks #indonesiandesigner #unistella #glassnails #unistella_glassnails #kbeauty #koreanbeauty #indonesianfashion #indonesianjewelry #모디X유니스텔라 #모디 #유니스텔라

It leaves behind a really cool, multi-dimensional, holographic look. The trend was started by Eunkyung Park, a manicurist in South Korea.

WOW WOW WOW! Obsessed with these negative space broken glass manicures! ?@nail_unistella? Someone take us to Korea pls!

The trend can be super simple.

Apparently I was *slightly* ahead of the glass nail trend. 3 week old manicure still going strong ?? 3週前の「グラス」マニキュア〜 こんな感じのマニキュアはアメリカで急に流行り出した！ #marienails #nailart #nails #glassnails #kawaii #black #nyc #マニキュア #ネイル #かわいい #ネイルアート #ニューヨーク #グラスネイル #ジェルネイル

Or can be layered to look like an optical illusion.
