When it comes to timeless beauty, few things are as effortlessly chic as a polished manicure. This season pearl nails are taking the nail world by storm. As an upgrade to the ever popular glazed donut nail trend, pearl nails are everything effortless and ethereal we love about a low maintenance mani. With a look that's both classic and modern, this manicure is quickly becoming a must-have for anyone looking for elegance with a bit of shimmer.
What Exactly Are Pearl Nails?
Pearl nails, also known as the new glazed donut nails, bring together a soft, milky-white base and a glossy, metallic top coat to create a lustrous, pearlescent effect. The result is a sophisticated, polished manicure that’s neutral enough for everyday wear, yet eye-catching enough to stand out from more traditional nude nails. And if you want to take things a step further you can easily use a nail tool to create a swirled pearl effect.
The magic of pearl nails lies in their subtle sheen and multi-dimensional look. While they offer the versatility of a neutral nail, they add an extra layer of refinement thanks to the pearly finish. Picture a milky opal stone or the surface of a perfectly polished seashell—that’s the kind of soft glow you can expect.
Pearl Nails: How to Get The Look
The great news about the pearl nail trend is that you don’t need to visit the salon to get the look. With a few choice polishes, you can easily recreate this chic, pearly effect at home.
