Get the look
Step 1: apply your nails
To ensure that you begin with a clean, bare area, apply nail polish remover first. Apply false nails made of clear acrylic using nail glue next. You may obtain the slightly sheer appearance associated with milky nails with clear acrylics.
Bonus: shape your nails
While it’s not required, you’ll discover that most milky nails have a lovely coffin form. This nail has a straight-across filing but curls slightly inward as it gets closer to the tip.
Step 2: grab your polish
Next, paint each of your nails with a thin coat of naked nail polish. Here is when things start to become trickier. To achieve the milky nail appearance at home, utilize an ombré nail method. Apply white nail polish below the nude nail polish on the edge of a makeup sponge. Then, lightly push the sponge’s edge away from the cuticle and onto your dry, bare nail. The outcome should be a gradient effect changing from white to nothing at all.
Step 3: build your look
Apply white polish to a fresh cosmetic sponge, then press it against the end of your nail. The idea is to create a more solid, white appearance at the nail’s tip and a sheer, naughty hue in the cuticle area.
Step 4: clean the edges
You’ll probably have white nail polish on the sides of your fingers from using the makeup sponge after your nail polish has dried. Fortunately, a straightforward cure exists. For a clean manicure, carefully wipe away any nail polish that has gotten on your skin or cuticles with a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover.
Step 5: apply a top coat
You wouldn’t want your milky nails to break too soon, would you? Apply a clear top coat to prolong the life of your DIY manicure. Use one with a high-shine finish to complement the sheer, milky appearance.
Step 6: moisturize
Once the polish phase is complete, and the nails have had ample time to get dry, finish your manicure with cuticle oil, followed by a rich hand lotion for softness. Once this is done, you are ready to nail it down!
