Translucent nail trends gain popularity in beauty industry

New translucent nail trends are gaining popularity in the beauty industry, moving away from heavy colors and chrome finishes toward more minimalist and sheer aesthetics.

“Sunglass nails” were introduced by manicurist Miss Pop for the Diane von Furstenberg fashion show during New York Fashion Week. This style uses thin layers of translucent polish to create a tinted glass effect similar to sunglasses, utilizing nostalgic tones like caramel, pink, green, and gold-brown. To achieve this look, professionals recommend using jelly-finish polishes followed by a high-shine or pearlescent top coat.

Simultaneously, “milk nails” have become a trend among celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Aniston, and Selena Gomez. This style focuses on a delicate, milky appearance achieved through thin layers of white or soft nude polish. The trend emphasizes a natural look that disguises nail growth and complements various skin tones and occasions through its neutral, minimalist approach.
