Spring nails 2026: Glass slipper & pearl nail trends to try at home

The top spring nail trends of 2026 build on the looks we already know and love, refining them with softer finishes and more considered detail.

Here are our favourite looks of the season, and how to get them at home in under 10 minutes with stick-on gels from the Glaize Shimmery Edit.

Glass Slipper nails

Seen on Hailey Bieber as early as last year, glass slipper nails bring a glazed finish that enhances the nail rather than transforms it, a look celebrity nail artist Holly Falcone continues to lean into this season.

The effect sits somewhere between glazed donut nails and a more prismatic, light-shifting finish. It’s a nod to both the fairy tale glass slipper and the Korean “glass skin” aesthetic, where the focus is on a smooth, dewy, reflective surface.

Glass Slipper

Inspired by our bestselling shade Sheer Delight, our new shade Glass Slipper pairs a sheer base with a fine shimmer that creates a smooth, glossy, healthy-looking sheen.

It’s the perfect choice for a natural yet elevated manicure.

Crystal Haze

If you love the same sheer base but want something more eye-catching, Crystal Haze offers a bolder take on the look.

Also inspired by our bestselling shade Sheer Delight , it pairs the base with silver glitter that catches the light as your hands move.

Pearl Nails

Another spring 2026 nail trend is pearl nails, seen on celebrities like Teyana Taylor, Kate Hudson and Nicole Kidman at the 2026 Oscars, and continuing to gain momentum this season.

The effect sits somewhere between a soft pink manicure and a light-reflecting, iridescent finish. It’s a nod to natural pearl textures, where the focus is on a smooth, luminous surface with a multi-dimensional sheen.
