Ribbed Glass Nails
A translucent, sculpted-glass manicure with fine raised vertical ridges that catch light like cut crystal or a chilled glass of iced coffee. The surface reads dimensional and cool rather than flat, and the ridges are built by hand with builder gel instead of stamped.
Trend context
Key fact
Allure Philippines calls ribbed-glass (the 'Baccarat' manicure) 'the latest fancy nail trend,' noting it walked the Sergio Hudson NYFW runway and is 'just beginning to gain traction stateside,' while InStyle names glass ridges among the six nail looks 'everywhere' for 2026.
