Milky nails: the milky white shades trend

Light, ethereal, delicate: we are talking about Milky Nails, the nails in a milky colour which conquer both in their simple version and in combination with nail art and other colours. Let's take a look at the most beautiful inspirations.

 

MILKY MANICURE: THE TREND THAT IS CONQUERING THE WORLD OF NAILS

The latest trend in nude manicures is milky: the milky-coloured nail gel polish is one of the colours of this year and of previous years. Certain nail effects like Milky Nails no longer have any intention of remaining in the background.

This is a form of nail art that has become an evergreen, which will be featured in the coming seasons as a reinterpretation of the natural beige or pinkish coloured nails, or the natural Lip Gloss Nails manicure.

An updated, more delicate and refined version of the classic optical white. The milky, semi-transparent finish creates the impression of a naturally glossy nail as if it were free of polish, allowing a glimpse of the natural nail.

Even with its simplicity, it is a sure bet for those who always want well-groomed nails that are keeping up with trends and never dull.

The ‘Milk manicure’ is being revived by many celebrities such as Lizzo and Jlo, who are ambassadors for it.

Milky white nails made an appearance in the spring-summer 2023 fashion shows, signalling a timeless trend. This is particularly true for Milk Bath Nails, a delicate spring look for nails with colourful flowers suspended in a milky bath like actress Blake Lively's nail art.

What makes milky white nails so special is their ability to create an elongated look not only for the nails, but also for the hand, which gives them an added lift. Whatever the version, they are always the perfect choice to wear for an authentic natural effect.

MILKY NAIL DESIGNS: SOME INSPIRATION

Milky French Manicure

The French Manicure was first created in the 1970s with the classic white tip and nude base. It has seen many different interpretations over the course of time, such as Double French, Dot French or Micro French, just to name a few. Just as importantly, the milky shade has established itsef as the Milky White French Manicure.

hoW TO CREATE MILKY WHITE NAILS? THE PRODUCTS TO GET

Milky white gel nails are ideal for anyone who doesn't have much time to devote to making sure their manicure lasts a long time.

Here, milk coloured nails come to the rescue because they can be applied quickly and easily.

As a general rule, different products can be used to achieve milky effect nails, depending on your favourite nail technique:


MILKY MANICURE WITH GEL POLISH

Choose a base in a milky shade, such as HD White Fiber Base, with an extra-strong formulation thanks to special Glass Fibres, Calcium and Vitamin E.

If you are looking for a super-fast solution, the 3-in-1 Repair Gel White gel polish is perfect for you: base, colour and finish in a single product.  

 

MILKY MANICURE WITH BUILDER GEL

We suggest the use of Milky Builder, a milk-coloured, high-density builder that is suitable for extensions and refills.

One alternative is Gelnius White, a gel builder in a bottle with the added convenience of a brush and the option of removal using the soak-off method, which is typical for gel polishes.

 

MILKY MANICURE WITH ACRIGEL

If you are using or would like to try the Acrigel technique, Acrigel Milk is a good companion product for Milky Nails: the ideal shade to replicate the milky trend perfectly!

 

Choose a delicate shade of milky white such as Acrilgel Sparkling White with extremely fine microglitter, for unique milky white nails.

 

You can simply finish the milky manicure with these products and seal with a finish.

Alternatively, you can proceed with the builder gel, gel polish or Acrigel reconstruction technique in a milky colour and complete the nail art with an application of the milky white gel polish colour. The result will be extremely opaque and perfectly milky.
