This spring, while nuances like Sage Green and Lavender have their moment, a timeless shade continues to reign: the milky manicure. Soft, transparent and elegant effort, this minimalist look remains a favorite for its versatility and discreet varnish.
“Lériques nails are an excellent option for someone who wants a neutral nail and does not want a touch of pink or warmth in the color,” explains the famous manicure Steph Stone. “The Sheerness gives your nails a more natural look than a simple opaque solid white. Due to its translucent, you can really wear this varnish with anything!”
So why the sudden obsession for this gentle and cloudy finish? According to the famous manicure Julie Kandalec, it is the perfect mixture of trends overlooking the world of beauty at the moment. “They are linked to the silent luxury trend of the nails neat with just a little blanket, then the trend of the Korean nails of a softer shade against completely opaque,” explains Kandalec. OPI World Ambassador, Natalie Minerva, adds: “I like to consider milky nails as a kind of” nail foundation “. He gives healthy light to your nails and also helps cover natural defects.”
