This summer, our nails will be more natural than ever thanks to a manicure that is both chic and discreet.
Goodbye nail art and ostentatious manicures? The sunny days are slowly creeping in, and with them our desire for more natural makeup. Whether on our faces or on our nails, we apply the expression “less is more”. We happily abandon overly flashy colors for a light beauty treatment for our hands, which promises to become the star of our holidays. The idea? A manicure so discreet that it’s barely noticeable while still remaining ultra chic. No more opaque white, classic nude or soft pink: here, we focus on transparency and shine to enhance the nail with crazy elegance. It’s the perfect tip for those who want well-groomed, luminous hands without looking like they’ve spent hours on them. Simple, fresh and terribly refined, it’s the new beauty reflex to adopt to shine all summer long.
Inspired by French manicure, this trend is even more natural. Forget the thick white line at the fingertips, here we play it with finesse and subtlety. His name? The Invisible French. “You don’t see a French line, but the tips appear slightly lighter and cleaner than the rest of the nail“, explains nail artist Jin Soon Choi to the media Byrdie. “The effect is subtle but very present: it’s clean, minimalist and very modern. The Invisible French is perfect for those who want healthy and refined nails, without the overly flashy look of classic nail art.“
Concretely, the natural nail is simply enhanced with a translucent nude varnish, and the tip is enhanced with a transparent and very fine white. In short, your nails, but better! “The milky, transparent shine on the tips makes the nail healthier, while maintaining an extremely natural appearance“, continues the pro. “It’s modern and effortless. Exactly the kind of manicure everyone is looking for right now.“
To adopt Invisible French, nothing could be simpler! After applying a base to the nail, apply a layer of translucent pink/nude varnish. Then we paint the free edge with a translucent white. A coat of top coat and that’s it! For even more naturalness, it is possible to add another layer of pink before the top coat.
