To help you ace this trend, we explore bookmark-worthy nude nail ideas for your next salon appointment.
1. Chocolate French manicure
French manicure is a classic look that always makes you look well put-together, even if you don’t feel it. To jump on the nude nail bandwagon, you can add a simple twist to your French manicure. Start with a nude base colour and continue with a chocolate brown colour on your tips. Finish the look with a white or ivory to underline your French tips.

4. Spring but make it muted
If you’d love to try a floral mani to welcome Spring but would like your nails to be muted and not too OTT, this style is ideal. Start with a nude base colour. Move forward with a coffee or tan shade and paint a curvy line on one side of your nails. Take a fine-tip brush to create a dotted flower with a combination of nude and coffee/tan nail polishes.
