If you found milky nails to be stylish, "sorbet nails" will definitely catch your attention.
I'm constantly searching for chic, minimal, and stylish nail trends to sport during the summer. However, I want to avoid anything dull. I know, I know—how thrilling can a minimal manicure really be? What I mean is that I'm looking for something a bit different from the typical clear nail polish or classic French tip that still aligns with my understated style. For a long time, I've preferred the milky nail trend above all else, but after discovering "sorbet nails," I believe I've found a new favorite.
**Sorbet Nails**
Seen on nail artist Mateja Novakovic, this sorbet manicure showcases a glossy, vibrant pink hue that gives your nails a healthy and lively appearance. The sheer, sorbet-like finish, however, ensures a natural and elegant look, making it ideal for an everyday manicure that complements a neutral wardrobe without feeling out of place.
While Novakovic opts for a short and simple rounded shape, I also believe this trend would look stunning with long, almond-shaped nails. To achieve the look, Novakovic employed two coats of Manucurist's Pink Sorbet nail polish. Described as a translucent pink with cool blue undertones, you can either apply a single coat or build up the polish according to your preferred finish. Regardless of your choice, this look undeniably exudes chicness for the summer months.
