"Skin Tint" Nails Are the Subtle Manicure Trend That I'm Sure Will Be Everywhere This Summer.
As a beauty editor, I have to keep up with the newest nail trends. While spring and summer have brought forward vibrant, eye-catching manicures (like yellow French tips and pastel nail designs), I tend to lean towards more subtle styles such as almond milk nails and sweetpea nails. However, a new trend is emerging that is even more minimalistic, and it could very well become my new favorite. Introducing "skin tint" nails.
What Are Skin Tint Nails?
You might find yourself wondering, "What exactly are skin tint nails?" Similar to the popular makeup item, this nail trend aims for a "your nails, but better" appearance. Imagine sheer, glossy polishes that let your natural nails come through. If you're still uncertain, consider this makeup comparison: while foundations are designed to conceal imperfections and redness, skin tints serve to enhance your skin’s natural texture, allowing you to fully appreciate your own skin.
This nail trend is not only incredibly refined, but it also gives your nails a healthy appearance, complements any outfit, and is extremely low-maintenance. If you need more persuasion to try it, take a look at the manicure inspirations below…
