9 Looks That Prove "Almond Milk Nails" Are the Chicest Summer Manicure Choice
Milky manicures just got a new-season update.


I love a fun summer nail trend as much as the next person. From colourful French tips to pastel nail art, I'm all about experimenting when the new season rolls around—particularly when it comes to spring nail trends. The only issue? With my fashion choices, I'm a neutral gal through and through, so my manicure doesn't often fit with the rest of my look. It's a small issue, I know, but as a beauty editor, I've made it my mission to find a nail trend that will complement my summer aesthetic while still standing out from the crowd. Enter, almond milk nails.
I know what you're thinking; haven't we heard enough about milky nails? This creamy, sheer, off-white shade has reigned supreme for a few summers now, but in my opinion, almond milk nails are even better.
What Are Almond Milk Nails?
So, what is this trend? I like to think of it as the milky nail's cooler cousin. It still has that velvety, somewhat sheer finish, but it's a lot creamier and slightly darker in tone. Yes, it's neutral, but it's a lot trendier than your typical white mani, so it's sure to earn you plenty of compliments this summer. Don't believe me? Keep on scrolling for some of the chicest almond milk manicures of all time, and don't be afraid to screenshot your favourite looks to take to your next salon appointment...
