What Makes the Look Work

  • A sheer, milky base — a pink-beige tone that sits close to your natural nail colour.
  • A glazed, glossy finish — a light chrome or shimmer that catches the light without looking heavy.
  • A short, soft shape — short almond or oval keeps it polished and wearable day to day.
