Right now, the “clean girl” aesthetic is prevalent everywhere. It has received a casual 2.1 billion views on TikTok. The term refers to an effortless, natural lookâthink dewy, makeup-free, fresh-looking skin. We’re completely embracing this clean, minimalist aesthetic from head to toe, and yes, that includes our nails.
The biggest manicure trend right now is “your nails, but better,” and everyone from Simone Ashley to Selena Gomez is loving it. Pinks that are almost identical to the natural color of nails, such as sheer nudes and naked pinks, are being used to opulent effect.
Manicurists are reinterpreting the fad in their own unique ways. The devil is in the details, whether that be a thin white tip applied French manicure style by Faye Louise Dennis using long-wearing Bio Sculpture gel polish or complex silver detailing applied by Iram Shelton over a translucent nude base.
The best minimalist manicures are shown below to help you decide on your next look.
