Worn by Cristina Cordula, this discreet and luminous manicure, with a well-groomed hands effect, is establishing itself as the big nail trend to adopt.
When it comes to sniffing out trends before anyone else, Cristina Cordula has nothing left to prove. Renowned for her in-depth expertise in both fashion and beauty, the famous image coach recently caused a sensation by revealing, in a video published on April 13, the minimalist manicure she adopted. A chic color, easy to wear and already destined to become the obsession of the moment.
Impossible for Cristina Cordula to imagine her daily life without an impeccable manicure. Doing your nails is not a simple coquetry but a real ritual that she imposes on herself every week, with an almost sacred regularity, “since the age of 17“. Her personal collection consists of many nail polishes, between sophisticated gradients of red and carefully selected shades of brown, as she shows in the video.
But this time, the former presenter of Queens of Shopping made the choice to focus on a natural shade which she describes as “my universal color since always“. She talks in particular about the Cloud Dancer, voted Pantone color of the year 2026, which is fully in line with the “soap nails” trend. This slightly translucent manicure focuses on a fresh and natural finish with an almost wet shiny effect, like nails just washed with soap.
Cristina Cordula also insists that a beautiful manicure always starts with a varnish suited to your skin tone. Not all nude shades are created equal, she reminds, explaining that “when it’s too light, too beige, it blends in with the color of my hand“. Once her manicure is finished, she presents the result to the camera: mid-length nails, delicately rounded, covered with a varnish between beige and nude, applied in thin layers. Delighted with the result, the Brazilian simply concludes: “I find it so chic“.
