Just as florals are perfect (if not groundbreaking) for spring, so is a milky nude manicure ideal for everyday wear. Flattering to all skin tones, it’s like the no make-up make-up look of the nail world, and works as well in autumn as it does in summer. It’s a timeless classic. Other fans of a classic milky nude include Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Campbell, and Priyanka Chopra.
The perfect hue to accompany any outfit and ensure you look groomed and professional at all times, the milky nude is a favorite with celebrities for a reason: it’s clean and versatile.
Victoria Beckham just proved she’s a fan of the shade, while enjoying a (casual) night in Miami with designer Tom Ford and footballer Leo Messi. Paired with an all-black ensemble and natural, tousled hair, Beckham’s manicure felt minimal and chic, but still noticeable. Proving the look is as good for daily business as it is for a glitzy night out, she also wore the manicure in a recent Instagram video about her beauty brand’s new Satin Kajal Liner.
If you’re not heading to the salon, there are myriad brilliant polishes to help you recreate the look at home. Essie’s Ballet Slippers is cult for a reason, while Dior’s Vernis in 108 Muguet also delivers a soft, polished finish.
