First, there were soap brows, that fluffy, brushed-up eyebrow trend. Now, there are soap nails. So what is this new nail trend? Keep reading to find out!
What Are Soap Nails?
They may not feature bubbles, but soap nails are squeaky clean and fresh-looking. They involve a clean base with perfectly buffed, trimmed, and filed nails plus a super glossy finish that gives off a “wet” effect. We love this look with a pink see-through finish or a milky-nude finish, similar to milk nails. The key element is the super glossy finish that makes these look like you just got out of a bubble bath.
How to Get The Look:
The Soap Nail look is a low-key nail trend that is similar in style to the “no makeup, makeup” trend. It reveals your best nails that still look like you. Because the finish is ultra sleek with a cuticle style similar to a Russian Manicure, this is one trend that you’ll find yourself spending more time on prepping the nail bed than actually polishing it.
To get the look (and keep it) it is all about the health of the nail, cuticle, and skin to create an ultra-dewy, finished style from hand to tip! You might even want to add a hand scrub or a deep moisturizing treatment to ensure a smooth, shiny finish.
