Gummy Nails
A tactile finish that gives the nail the look of moulded candy rather than painted colour: translucent tinted material built up until it reads as a solid object with visible depth, often domed at the tip. The defining property is dimension, not shine, which is what separates it from a flat jelly manicure.
