While many people might think that strawberry jelly tastes the best, you can't forget about grape jelly. Even if you're not a fan of grape jelly's taste, you can't argue with the fact that it looks intriguing because of its color and texture. So, consider rocking grape jelly-inspired nails for a versatile manicure. There are many ways to achieve this look, and grape jelly nails are guaranteed to look better than they taste!

Glossy purple nails scream grape jelly

When we hear "grape jelly nails," our minds instantly jump to glossy purple manicures. Grape jelly usually has a distinctive purple hue, and the packaging for the product is almost always purple. So, opt for a purple gel manicure or paint your nails with purple polish and add a generous amount of glassy top coat or clear polish for a shiny, jelly-like effect.

Add some sparkle

Jelly typically has a shiny appearance due to its sheer or translucent texture and gooey consistency. To enhance jelly's shiny look, consider adding sparkly touches to your purple manicure instead of using just a gel or glossy top coat. You can achieve this by incorporating sparkly nail polish, which will add a touch of glamour to your nails.

Or go with a moody red grape-inspired look

You shouldn't forget about those yummy dark red grapes, which we see more often than grapes that appear purple. We can save the debate about whether most grapes are red or purple for another time, but since we all know that red grapes exist, glossy burgundy and red-violet manicures are also perfect for the grape jelly nail trend.
