The ultimate guide to achieving the naked manicure look

There's something quietly luxurious about a naked manicure. It's clean, understated, and polished without screaming for attention. While bold, elaborate nail art will always have its place, this spring's go-to manicure is about subtlety.

A sheer, barely-there gloss, neatly shaped nails, and a hint of natural shine create a look that's fresh, modern, and surprisingly high-impact.

Besides that, it's low-maintenance but never sloppy. A naked manicure enhances what's already there, focusing on nail health rather than colour or embellishment.

The key is precision: buffed, hydrated nails, trimmed cuticles, and a lightweight, breathable finish that keeps everything looking neat but natural. And while this look might seem effortless, there's an art to getting it just right. Hydration is crucial, and a swipe of nourishing oil or serum makes all the difference in achieving that clean, well-groomed aesthetic.
