"Silk Veil" Nails Might Be the Most Elegant Neutral Manicure of All Time

If, like me, you're obsessed with nail trends, then you'll know that two sheer nail manicures are never the same. As a beauty editor, I've become obsessed with finding the perfect sheer nail polishes to recreate a sheer milky manicure. So, when I spotted silk veil nails doing the rounds on my feeds, I knew this was another sheer nail polish trend I needed to try first-hand.

What Are Silk Veil Nails?

Coined by celebrity nail tech Iram Shelton, silk veil nails feature a feature of sheer white polish that instantly makes your hands look naturally neat and healthy. They're much like the milky manicures we've seen of late, but with a far sheerer finish that makes your hands look polished and elevated. As their name suggests, they make a great option for brides you are looking for wedding nail designs but want something timeless, minimalist and low-key for their manicure.
