This year, we’re prioritizing ourselves. That means taking the time to invest and indulge in the rituals that don’t just make us feel our best, but also consider our health. When it comes to the manicure, that means taking the clean girl look to the next level by focusing on our natural nails. Enter wellness nails, the look that’s truly your nails but better. This trend is all about keeping your nails strong and your look polished without skimping out on care.
What are wellness nails?
The clean girl color formula meets your natural nails, this trend delivers a pristine and luxurious look without sacrificing nail health. Everything from soap nails to the naked mani can be easily made into a wellness nails look by keeping your nail length natural and incorporating strengthening care. That means prioritizing light shades of pink and nude, subtle shimmers and, most importantly, your nail health.
It’s no secret that some of our favorite manicure moments are a bit rough on nails. But these days there’s a clear shift to take your nail health into account. Natural nail polish formulas continue to rise in popularity, and Sally Hansen even released a line of no-damage press-ons.
Wellness nails expand on this trend, making it clear that strong, healthy nails are the priority.
