Pearly nails are a fairytale manicure that shines especially in spring with delicate shades. A pearly polish over pastel tones like baby blue is the new standout among spring nail colours.

The pearlescent effect offers an elegant and refined allure while still suiting more casual looks. It’s a great alternative to the classic baby boomer or milky white nails for those who prefer a minimal yet natural style.
Pearly nails echo trending styles like Milky Nails, white and milky-toned but with an added glow. Additionally, the slight transparency and pearly reflections give a nod to the mirror or glass effect.
In short, pearly nails are a blend of some of the most beloved nail art styles. The secret? Making the milky base super iridescent without excessive glitter or sparkle.
How to Achieve Glazed Donut Nails
Glazed Donut nails are easy to create with just a few products: a "base" in nude tones like milky white or soft pink, a glossy top coat, and white nail powder.
If you prefer using gel polish, opt for an HD white base and white pearl powder. Regardless of the method, follow these three steps to achieve glaze manicure:
- Apply the finish over the gel base or gel extension.
- Cover the nail with white pearl pigment, using an applicator brush for even distribution and a fan brush to remove excess powder.
- Seal with a top coat like Master Gloss, ensuring a no-wipe finish.
