Food-Inspired 3D Nails

Food-inspired 3D nails are a playful way to make your nails more distinctive and personalized. The small may seem like they require advanced skills, but with the right products and tools, creating three-dimensional details can be easily attainable with some practice. 

When creating 3D details, a high-viscosity gel is essential. The ideal gel should hold its shape and stay in place, while being fluid enough to guide smoothly into the desired shape. Jello Jello Zig Zag Gels is a squeezable gel that is convenient to create soft rounded 3D shapes. These gels come in a wide range of colors that are ready to use and can be applied to the nails directly from the tube. They retain their vibrancy even after curing, resisting yellowing and discoloration. With a high=viscosity formula, the gel holds its shape while subtly self-leveling over time. After squeezing the gel into place, it can be easily guided into desired shape and placement using a liner brush. 

To create more intricate details on 3D nail embellishments, a moldable, clay-like gel is an excellent medium. YOGO Milk Jam 3D White Clay/Embossing Gel has a milky color that can be left as is or painted over. This gel is stiffer than Jello Jello Zig Zag Gels, making it easier to mold and shape with tools since it holds its form without settling. Its firm texture also allows finer details to be carved or engraved using silicone tools.

Here are five food-inspired 3D nails that you can create using Jello Zig Zag Gels or YOGO Milk Jam 3D Gel:

 

Tomato Nails 

If you want something a little different from the trendy fruit nails but still perfect for savoring the end of summer and transitioning into fall, tomatoes make a fun alternative motif. Use Jello Jello Zig Zag Gel in the color Tomato Jelly to create adorable 3D tomatoes for a playful and unique look. 

Breakfast Nails 

Breakfast nails are a quirky way to style your manicure. Use Jello Jello Zig Zag Gel Milk Tea to create any breakfast carbohydrate component desired–pancakes, toast, donuts, muffins, and more. For textured pieces like bacon, fruits, or toppings, use YOGO Milk Jam Gel to easily sculpt details for a more realistic effect. Breakfast nails make an iconic statement and are fun for any season.

Cake Nails

Cake nails can be a sweet way to celebrate a birthday or special event. They look cute and delicious! Use Jello Jello Zig Zag Gel creamy colors like More White or Pink Bunny for a frosting-like resemblance. Jello Jello Zig Zag Gels make it easy to “pipe” the gel onto the nails for soft frosting patterns such as strings of pearls. For more intricate details, use YOGO Milk Jam 3D Gel to carve strings of shells or rosettes. 

 

Pudding Nails

Pudding nails have become a popular and cute nail look in South Korea. They are another way to add something sweet to your nails and are beginner-friendly to create using your choice of Jello Jello Zig Zag Gels. 

 

Ice Cream Nails
