The New Naked Manicure Trend You Need To Try

Hands down, the prettiest nail designs of the moment - by Arielle Tsoukatos
  • 22 Jul 2019
The New Naked Manicure Trend You Need To Try

The naked manicure is one of this season's chicest nail trends. From warm beiges to soft pinks - and cool taupe tones.

There's a nude manicure or neutral nail art design for everyone. The secret? Finding a colour with an undertone that suits your skin tone. While the search for the perfect nude nail polish is seemingly endless when it comes to defining the ultimate barely-there hue a few classic nail polish options come to mind; Essie's Ballet Slippers, OPI's Samoan Sand and Zoya. 

Opting for gel nails or SNS manicure  — guaranteed to remain glossy and intact for up to three weeks — is tempting. For those who want to avoid potentially risky UV exposure and damaging their natural nails, there’s another option: good old fashion nail polish. 

When it comes to longevity, the new crop of long-wearing nail polish formulas will last for seven to ten days. While you might be prone to skipping the base and topcoat to save time - they will dramatically extend the life of your manicure and support the health of our nails.

Celebrity 'MAN'icurist Tom Bachik created this warm peachy-toned nude manicure for actress Olivia Munn. The star's eye-catching Cartier jewellery completes this nail look.
