Taylor Swift's engagement nails are making me reconsider my bridal manicure.

      Breaking news: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged! (Yes, our entire office gasped in unison.) The duo, who publicly acknowledged their relationship in October 2023, shared the exciting announcement on Instagram today with the caption, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married." Cue the "Love Story" bridge. While details about the engagement are slowly coming to light, we know that Swift is flaunting a cushion-cut diamond (and it's quite large!) set on a yellow-gold band from Artifex Fine Jewelry, paired with a manicure so sheer it appears she might not be wearing any polish at all. As someone who has an entire Pinterest board focused on wedding-day manicures (very important), this has me reassessing every polish choice I’ve carefully curated.

      Naturally, Swift’s “naked” nails look impeccably clean and polished—just without applying any actual polish. This is crucial if you're opting for a naked manicure; a well-nourished base devoid of splits, chips, and frays will maintain an elegant appearance. However, a "naked" look can also be achieved with a very sheer neutral polish (or simply a shiny topcoat, if that’s your preference). After examining the photos for longer than I’d like to admit, I’d guess Swift is using something akin to OPI’s Bare My Soul, a creamy, soft beige with a sheer finish. Even if it's not the exact polish she chose to complement her striped dress, it's a must-have; celebrity nail artist Natalie Minerva previously suggested to WWW that it serves as a fantastic base for various nail looks, making it a smart addition to your at-home collection. Below are some shopping options for that shade, along with a few other similar colors and essentials for a naked manicure.
