Coconut milk nails sweep summer beauty agenda

The classic white manicure is back in vogue this summer, but with a fresh twist. Enter coconut milk nails, the latest buzzword for a sheer, subtle wash of white polish.

Why coconut milk nails are the perfect summer accessory

Sheer manicures have been a staple on the red carpet and among influencers for years, with A-listers like Hailey Bieber, Gemma Chan, and Selena Gomez all embracing the trend. Manicurist Michelle Class attributes the enduring popularity to the fact that a clean, sheer finish works with every outfit and camera-ready aesthetic.

Coconut milk nails achieve a satin-like finish that's not solid white, but not shimmery either. Opt for practical shapes like short and rounded or medium and almond to complete the look.

While coconut milk nails are just one example of summer's neutral nail trend, which also includes soft pinks, creamy nudes, and metallic beiges, they offer a chic, understated option that pairs well with sunny days and warm weather attire.
