Anne Hathaway popularizes “coconut water nails” beauty trend

The “coconut water nails” beauty trend is gaining popularity, inspired by actress Anne Hathaway’s recent appearances at the Disney Legends ceremony and the premiere of ‘The End of the Street’. Created by nail designer Tom Bachik, the look focuses on a minimalist, translucent, and highly glossy aesthetic.

To achieve this effect, the technique involves applying a thin layer of milky white or translucent polish—often referred to as “bridal veil” style—over well-prepped, smooth nails. The goal is to create a hydrated, luminous appearance that mimics the look of coconut water. The process is completed with a high-shine top coat or gel effect to provide a glass-like finish.
