I don’t think you’re ready for ... these jelly nails.

Clear-style acrylic nails are perfect for showing off that summer tan.

The trend went viral on Instagram after Kylie Jenner posted a photo.

The translucent trend brings us back to the '90s, and it's making a comeback along with translucent backpacks, fanny packs and shoes.

This translucent trend is reminiscent of the '90s.

The nail trend is much more wearable than past ones we have seen on Instagram.

To get the look use a translucent colored acrylic instead of a traditional one.

If the translucent trend isn’t fun enough for you, you can even add sparkles and big rhinestones.

This is an Instagram trend we can all actually get behind.

These nails are made with translucent color acrylic so you can see through them.
