The simplest, yet always sophisticated. This look features neatly filed natural nails with a clear base or a sheer polish that enhances their natural beauty, perfect for everyday wear or even formal events.
2/9 Nude Finish
From soft pinks and beiges to creamy browns and peach tones, nude shades are a forever favorite. These hues flatter every skin tone and add a polished, elegant finish that never goes out of style.
3/9 Milky Effect
The creamy, semi-opaque white or blush finish mimics the soft elegance of a runway manicure. It offers a healthy, cared-for appearance, ideal for those who love clean beauty with a subtle glow.

Just like your favorite blush, this manicure creates a flush of delicate pink over a clear base. Feminine, fresh, and romantic, it’s the perfect choice for soft, natural looks this season.

Inspired by the viral “glazed donut” nails, this version features a glossy, light-reflecting topcoat over a nude or transparent base. It adds a hint of modern glamour while keeping the look minimalist and chic.
6/9 Glitter Touch
For those who love a little sparkle, add a fine dusting of glitter over a nude or sheer base. The key is subtlety, think shimmer, not shine—for a look that’s both playful and sophisticated.

A modern twist on the classic French manicure, this style replaces the bold white tips with barely-there lines that blend seamlessly with the base, elegant, updated, and totally on trend.
8/9 Minimal Nail Art
Naked nails also make the perfect canvas for delicate designs. Think mini florals, metallic dots, pastel French tips, or abstract lines. It’s the ideal way to showcase your personality without overwhelming the look.
9/9 Pearl Finish
For a subtle glow, try a pearly or iridescent topcoat. Perfect for brides, bridesmaids, or special occasions, this satin finish brings a soft touch of luxury that’s delicate yet impactful.
No matter which variation you choose, naked nails promise a refined, timeless look that pairs beautifully with every outfit, and every season. In a world full of color and bold designs, this trend offers the perfect moment of calm, balance, and understated beauty.
