Milky nails are the celeb-approved twist on a classic nude mani and the best part about this trend is that it’s super easy to do at home.What do Lizzo, Hailey Bieber, the Kardashians, and Nicola Beckham-Peltz all have in common? All are devoted fans of the milky mani. This clean-girl aesthetic manicure is all about the polish color rather than nail art. This minimal look is achieved using one of two shades: translucent pink or opaque white nail polish. A semi-opaque white with a ghostly translucent feel that, as the #milkynails hashtag suggests, is reminiscent of milk, whether you prefer whole or non-dairy.
The next part is for the gel lovers out there – I will cure my nails using a base coat. My go-to is the beetles no-wipe Gel Base Coat. Cure for 30 seconds.If you like to add a little length to your nails I usually use the acrylic nail extensions from a Gelike kit I got which includes 240 pcs of almond & coffin shape nails. I swear by these – they never break.
Beetles Pink Champagne Polish is the number one best seller in the Gel nail polish section (with 40,000+reviews) on Amazon and for good reason – this color is absolutely gorgeous, versatile, and feminine. I always get compliments on my nails when I wear this color.
Make sure to add a top coat to seal your gel manicures. My go-to is the beetles no-wipe Gel Top Coat.I also love the jelly-pink rendition of this milky white nail mani.For the nail lacquer girlies out there try these:
- OPI’s Bubble Bath
- Essie expressie, Soft Pink Beige
- OPI Put It In Neutral (is probably my favorite OPI color of all time!)
Gel lovers must try MEMEDA Neutral Gel Nail Polish or Essie’s Mademoiselle
