Apologies, Milky Nails—We're Shifting to Watery Nails This Spring.

      If you appreciate nail trends that appear luxurious, you'll want to save some inspiration for watery nails for your upcoming nail appointment. This style has been popping up in the feeds of the most prominent and captivating nail artists, and watery nails are among the most chic and elegant manicures I've seen since milky nails entered the trend scene. For those already acquainted with the finest sheer nail polishes, watery nails elevate the concept further. With diluted colors and an ultra-glossy finish, they emulate the appearance of sunlight dancing on water, reflecting light while also allowing the natural nail to peek through. While some nail artists interpret watery nails literally with cool grays and blues, this trend can also be adapted to a variety of other shades. Thus, you can find watery nails in soft pinks, gentle lilacs, and even nude tones for a more unexpected soft nail aesthetic. Let me share some inspiration for watery nails:

      1. Lavender Water

      A high-shine, glassy manicure with a touch of sheer color — this is the essence of watery nails.

      2. Pink Soda

      For a warmer vibe, consider a subtle pink shade.

      3. Cool Tones

      Cooler shades like this watery grey polish offer a refreshing feel.

      4. Rosewater

      Nail artist Mateja Novakovic utilizes Gelcare’s Lavender Water for a sheer color wash.

      5. Sheer Perfection

      Watery nails also look stunning on longer nail lengths.

      6. Nearly Nude

      An ideal watery nail design for those who prefer minimalist styles.

      7. Statement Tips

      A watery base paired with vibrant pink tips adds a playful twist to the classic French manicure.

      8. Feeling Blue

      If pink isn’t your preference, opt for a sheer blue look to capture the watery essence.

      9. You're Blushing

      For a gentler approach, these blush pink watery nails are delightful.

      10. Love Hearts

      Here, nail artist Sarah Alaina fuses a pink watery base with 3D nail art.

      11. Lilac Haze

      Another appealing lilac variant, this one with a bit more impact.
