Lip gloss lovers are drawn to the sheer, shiny wash of color a slick of the product gives our pouts. And luckily, it’s a look that can easily be emulated for a pretty, pared-back manicure. Enter: lip gloss nails.
“Lip gloss nails are minimalistic nude nails that mimic your natural nail bed color with a high shine top coat for a super glossy shine,” says celebrity nail artist Thuy Nguyen. “Sometimes, if your nail bed does not have enough of your desired pink hue, you can opt to use a light pink jelly gel for color balancing.
“Although the term “lip gloss nails” has been trending over the past year, the look is quite timeless. “This high-shine sheer pink look has been heavily requested nail color for as long as I’ve been doing nails and certainly even before that,” says celebrity nail artist Steph Stone.
