Tired of complicated and time-consuming manicures? Introducing "soap nails" – a trend that emphasizes the natural beauty of your nails with minimal effort. This minimalist approach to manicure is perfect for those who always want well-groomed and shiny nails without excessive decoration.

In the world of beauty, trends are constantly changing, but “soap nails” are here to stay. This manicure style focuses on clean, natural, and shiny nails that resemble freshly washed hands. The name “soap nails” comes from their appearance, which resembles soap bubbles – shiny, smooth, and perfectly groomed.

How to achieve the “soap nails” look?

Nail preparation: Start by shaping your nails into the desired shape – square, oval or round. Make sure your nails are evenly trimmed and smooth.

Cuticle care: Gently push back your cuticles and remove any excess cuticles. Using cuticle oil will help soften and condition this area.

Choice of varnish: Opt for sheer or milky shades of pink, white or beige. The goal is to achieve a natural look with a slight hint of color.

Glossy finish: Use a high-shine top coat to give your nails the look of freshly washed and manicured hands. Shine is a key element of this trend.

Why choose “soap nails”?

“Soap nails” are the perfect choice for anyone who appreciates a minimalist and natural look for their nails. Their biggest advantage is their simplicity – the trend does not require complicated techniques or special tools, which means you can easily create it at home. Thanks to their neutral shades and glossy finish, “soap nails” do not stand out, but subtly emphasize the beauty of the nails, which is ideal for an everyday look. In addition, these nails are extremely practical and low-maintenance, as you are less likely to notice abrasions or overgrowth, which is a common problem with more complex manicures.
