Dive into the trend everyone's loving: soft, sea-washed nails.

Dahlings, why daydream about coastal getaways when you can bring the seaside straight to your manicure? The beauty world is positively awash with Sea Glass Nails – that effortlessly undone, beachy-chic look that's making waves across our Instagram feeds.
Think dreamy translucence, ocean-inspired hues, and a matte or glossy washed-glass finish — it's your nails' version of a beach day, bottled. Will you dip your fingertips in?
What makes this trend utterly irresistible? It's that perfect balance of subtle sophistication and playful charm – like treasures tumbled by waves and polished by sand. These delicate blues, misty greens, and pearly finishes capture that magical moment when you spot a perfect piece of sea glass nestled in the shore.
Capture the Coastal Magic
Ready to transform your tips into sea-washed treasures? Here's our cheeky little guide:
Begin with our Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat – because a strong foundation is essential for any seaside adventure.
Next, layer on whisper-thin coats of our most captivating sea-inspired shades. Our Bramley Apple delivers that perfectly weathered green reminiscent of rare sea glass finds. For misty morning fog rolling off the water, London Fog creates the perfect atmosphere. When the deep blue calls, Waterloo Blue answers with oceanic elegance. And for those sun-dappled waves, our Opalescent Mellow The Yellow adds that magical touch of shimmer.
The secret to authentic sea glass nails? Keep it sheer and build slowly – just as nature takes its time creating these coastal gems.
For the finishing touch, choose your adventure: Hardwear Matte Topcoat for that authentic weathered sea glass look, or Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat if you prefer your treasures with a glassy, wave-kissed finish.
And just like that – coastal cool right at your fingertips! Fair warning: be prepared for endless compliments and the inevitable "Where did you get them done?" questions. (Your secret's safe with us.)
The Jelly Revolution
This isn't just another passing trend – beauty editors are calling sea glass nails "this season's jelly manicure twist," predicting they'll wash over everyone's social feeds faster than high tide.
What sets Sea Glass Nails apart is that perfectly imperfect quality – simultaneously polished and raw, just like the real thing. It's understated luxury that whispers rather than shouts, darlings.
The brilliant part? While you're turning heads with your seaside-inspired tips, our clean, nourishing formulas are strengthening your nails beneath all that beauty. That's what we call proper British efficiency.
So go on then, give your nails the holiday they deserve. The seaside is calling, and your fingertips should absolutely answer. Shop the Sea Glass Edit.
