Pearly nails are so versatile that they can reach beyond trends and seasons, becoming the key for any time of year. Perfect for enhancing a tan, they can be the ideal transition manicure to lead us into autumn. Thanks to the glazed manicure and very shiny effect of typical pearly nails, which gives the manicure a semi-transparent finish, that paired with strictly light colors such as white, pink or light blue, recall the reflections of pearls. A trend much loved in the ’80s and ’90s, is now back among the nail trends to stay.
Although pearly nails were trendy in the 1980s, the credit for their return to the trend goest to Hailey Bieber and her now famous Glazed Donut Nails. A manicure that plays with light polishes and mirror effects with pearlescent reflections, minimalist yet shiny. The aim is to recreate the many facets of pearls, playing with very delicate base shades, particularly white nail polish, adding a glossy and transparent top coat, to highlight the milky and iridescent base, which shines without adding glitter or sparkles.
How to make pearly nails
Pearly nails can be created using specific nail polishes, colored or white and with a pearlescent finish. The alternative is made with the powder to create pearl nails, to be spread on a semi-permanent base or on the gel reconstruction. These are the basic steps:
- Spread the finish on the base
- Cover the nail with the powder using a brush and distribute it evenly
- Remove the excess
- Seal the result with a top coat
