Ah the classic glassmorphism effect! Tailwind makes this surprisingly simple. The key utilities you'll need are backdrop-blur-* for the blur and bg-white/ or bg-gray-*/ with an opacity for the translucent color. Here's a rock-solid example for a nav overlay:

<div class="fixed top-0 z-50 w-full p-6 bg-white/10 backdrop-blur-md supports-backdrop-blur:bg-white/10 border-b border-white/20">
  <!-- Your nav content here -->
</div>

Breakdown: bg-white/10 sets a 10% opaque white background. backdrop-blur-md applies the blur effect to the area behind the element. The supports-backdrop-blur is a handy feature query for older browsers. The border-b border-white/20 adds a subtle light border to enhance the "glass" edge. You can tweak the blur strength (backdrop-blur-sm lg xl) and the background opacity (bg-white/5 /20) to match your design. Check out the official Tailwind backdrop-blur docs for more variants.

Answered for the Question: "Trying to style a modern UI here—how do I apply a background blur effect using Tailwind CSS classes? I specifically want that frosted glass look for a navigation overlay."
