Milky Nail-Polish Trend
Milky Nails Are One of Our Favourite Spring Manicure Trends — Here's How to Re-Create Them
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Over this past year, we've become highly proficient at doing our own nails, and we're starting to feel ready to experiment with trends and new hues. Well, we're in luck, because we've been seeing milky nails everywhere, and they're super easy to re-create at home, even if you're a beginner. The trend is a semisheer white manicure that looks sort of, well, milky. It's sophisticated and goes with everything, and pretty much anyone can do it.
If you're interested in re-creating the trend, try using these 12 polishes. Whether you're looking for something with a little sparkle or something that's nontoxic, we've got you covered. Keep reading to shop our selections!
