The Most Popular Bridal Nails of the Year: A Special Feature on Glass French Art ♡

The Most Popular Trend of the Year ♡ Glass French Nails
In the rapidly changing nail industry, the most popular design chosen over the past year is likely the glass French nails.
Glass French refers to nail art that features sharp and sparkling pieces resembling glass, applied to the tip of the nail, about 1-2mm in width.
These pieces are not made of real glass or special materials; instead, they are structured in two layers: with silver glitter painted underneath, and rough cut hologram or slightly coarse square shell pieces on top.
This creates an appearance that looks like "glittering glass shards," hence the name glass French.
Despite being simple, the sparkling glass elements provide a strong and stylish vibe. Many brides are opting for this design for their bridal nails as well ♡
Here, we will introduce various images of the currently trending glass French nails, categorized by "nail shape," "base color," and "additional elements."
Find your favorite design that you think looks the cutest ♡
◆ Nail Shape (1) Square
Many might feel that square nails have a "never tried it" or "a bit rugged" image or seem "foreign."
However, glass French nails are perfect for square shapes.
French nails themselves are already suitable for square shapes, and the sharp, cut holograms that are characteristic of glass French nails can be more prominently applied on a square nail, complementing the square shape nicely.
It seems many people have tried square nails for the first time with glass French.
◆ Nail Shape (2) Round
But of course, round nails are cute too ♡
This design is also easy for people who can't grow their nails long due to work or who don't want to emphasize length or shape too much.
◆ Nail Shape (3) Point
Point nails, which have pointed tips, make fingers appear longer and slimmer.
The sparkling effect of the glass and the shape of the nails combine to create a sharper, elegant look ♡
◆ Width of the Glass French Part
The width of the glass French part can change the overall vibe.
The most common width seen on Instagram is this thickness (about 1.5 to 2mm*).
If it's a bit thinner, it looks like this*.
For ultra-thin glass French, it appears like this*.
Conversely, thicker ones have a significant presence*.
◆ Shape of the Glass French Part
Next, let's talk about the shape of the glass French part.
A unique shape compared to the usual is the "V-cut" type. As you can see, the inner contour of the glass has a V-shape instead of a curve.
Another arrangement I found is a design that has small glass fragments scattered, creating a gradient effect*.
◆ Color of the Glass French Part
While silver is the popular choice for the glass part, using "gold" adds a touch of luxury and style ♡
It's also impressive to have different colors for gold and silver on the right and left hands*.
◆ Types of Additional Parts to Incorporate
Glass French nails are beautifully cute on their own, but it’s also recommended to add other parts for a more personalized design.

◆ Base Color
The base color is typically paired with nude colors like pink, beige, or white, which can give a soft and smooth look*.
Milky white also matches well.
However, pairing with deep colors gives a vibrant effect.
◆ Glass French Nails for Toes
Finally, let's introduce glass French nails for foot designs too ♡
Now It’s Decided: Glass French Nails ♡
Glass French nails are not season-dependent, making them suitable to wear all year round. Although they are currently stylish, their simplicity ensures that they will always look lovely, perfect for nail art ♡
