The “clean girl” aesthetic is still going strong, and with it comes the trend of clean girl nails. This look is all about simplicity and a natural vibe—think fresh, barely-there beauty. It’s racked up a casual 2.1 billion views on TikTok. For nails, that means a minimalist, polished style—no fuss, just clean.
“Your nails, but better” is the manicure mood of the moment, with celebs like Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Simone Ashley, and Sabrina Carpenter all rocking the look. Sheer nudes and soft pinks—close to the natural nail color—are the go-to shades for a luxe finish.
Manicurists are putting their own twist on the trend, from “soap nails” (inspired by glossy bars of soap) to delicate silver or gold accents on a sheer nude base. It’s all in the details.
Here are some of the best minimalist manicures for your next nail inspo:
