As a beauty editor who spots nail trends for a living, there is no disputing that we're all in our minimalist nail era. From sheer nail colours to milky manicures, it seems less is more on our nails right now. And now, organza nails are here as a natural extension of the barely-there nail trend—and they're all over the feeds of the most stylish hands of the fashion set right now. Here's everything you need to know and how to get the look.
What Are Organza Nails?
Much like the fabric itself, organza nails feature a pretty, semi-translucent sheen that gently captures the light. Rather than glittery, these nails are lightly shimmery with a sheer finish that still allows your natural nail to peek through, but with the addition of a silky sheen with pearly pigments or tiny shimmer pigments.
Organza Nail Ideas
On first glance, this may just look like a standard sheer pink manicure, but the micro shimmer pigments give it a gentle sparkle.
How pretty are these organza nails?
Chrome powders are also great for creating the subtle sheen of organza nails—I love this pink take.
See how this organza manicure gently captures the light? I'm obsessed.
I adore the dual-chrome finish of this shimmering manicure.
Sheer coats of a cat-eye polish can also be used to recreate the look if you want more of a dimensional sparkle.
How to Get the Look
The key is to look for nail polishes that are almost totally sheer that have a gently sparkle or shimmer to them. Some have a pink or pearly white base that help to even the nail plate while coating them with a pretty sheen. Shop some of my favourites below.
