I Don't Have Time for Complex Nail Art — The "No Manicure" Manicure Is Now My Favorite.
After spending months discussing the year's major nail trends, I've noticed that many of us are looking for those understated, elegant, and low-maintenance manicures that don't necessitate salon visits every couple of weeks. Think sweetpea nails, milky-toned polishes, and barely-visible French tips. As a busy beauty editor, I completely relate. While I desire my nails to appear polished at all times, I simply lack the time for constant maintenance. So when I discovered the trending "no manicure" manicure, I immediately recognized it would become my preferred style. Similar to the popular "no makeup" makeup look, this manicure aims to keep your nails looking as natural as possible while imparting a refined, well-groomed appearance. Picture perfectly shaped edges, meticulously neat cuticles, and a glossy, sheer polish that achieves a "your nails, but better" effect. The great part? Thanks to its understated nature, you can extend the duration of this manicure between appointments significantly. If this interests you, take a look at some of my favorite "no manicure" manicure styles below. I’ve noticed this trend all over Instagram, and in my opinion, it's perfect for the upcoming season...
