Oat Milk Latte Nails Are Trending in 2024
Oat milk latte nails are the latest coffee-inspired manicure trend. This look emulates marbled iced coffee with white base nails featuring brown hues layered over it.
This classic spring mani is perfect for adding some flourishes of spring. Add embellishments such as stick-on pearls or floral nail art. Additionally, this manicure pairs perfectly with the Balletcore beauty trend which features pastel hues and layers of tutus tutus skirts.
1. Chocolate Brown
Milky brown manicures provide an elegant alternative to the pastel nail trend seen throughout 2018. Their neutral shade blends earthy tones with creamy hues for an eye-catching appearance that suits all complexions.
If you like the idea of a latte French tip but would prefer more drama, consider choosing a gel polish with shades reminiscent of your favorite iced coffee beverage. Russell recommends Lights Lacquer’s Mrs. Jones ($15) for fair nails while Essie Midnight Delight ($17) provides deeper colors.
Glazed nails remain a timeless fall trend, but this year less is more. Instead of opting for an overt rhinestone manicure, opt for only strategically placed gems instead for an eye-catching aesthetic that works great at coastal grandma-inspired dinner parties.
2. Vanilla
As 2024 ushers in minimalist beauty trends, latte nail looks are a great way to add some luxe into everyday manicures. Unlike pastel French tips or nail art designs, this neutral-toned trend makes an impression of “quiet luxury.”
Add an eye-catching edge to your oat milk mani with just a simple addition – chrome! Give your nails an elegant frosty finish by applying a thin coat of chrome polish or create two-toned look featuring soft white nails with milky hue tips for an exciting effect.
For an enjoyable pint of dairy-free vanilla, we suggest either the 365 by Whole Foods Market Vanilla Bean Almondmilk ($6 for 16 ounces) or Target’s Favorite Day Non-Dairy Vanilla Bean (about $6). Both options have more subtle, canned-frosting flavors that would hold up well when blended in smoothies.
3. Black
If you prefer minimalist styles with an edge, give this style a try. Begin with white manicures on all of your talons before adding light-colored pearl accents at each cuticle of each nail for a feminine and chic finish.
This look is ideal for formal events and weddings. Try adding shimmery gold shades for a striking and eye-catching effect.
Nail art will remain an increasingly popular beauty trend in 2024, from immortalizing viral clothing trends on nails to modernising classic styles with 3D embellishments – you’re bound to see something for everyone in this beauty trend.
4. Peach Fuzz
Pastels will continue to reign supreme in 2024 (along with the return of glazed nails), but there’s also a soft peachy shade on its way. From simple polish to press-on nails or gels that mimic its hue, this hue is sure to give our talons an upbeat spring aesthetic.
Other nail trends we can expect in 2024 include the revival of classic almond shapes and minimalist, barely-there nails featuring high-shine finishes. According to senior Mylee ambassador and celebrity manicurist Tinu Bello, we should also expect more tortoiseshell nails featuring brown bases with half moon designs a la tortoiseshell turtles; for those who enjoy creative nail designs there may also be an increase in touchable flowers and texturised swirls as creative nail art designs come back into fashion.
5. Balletcore
Hailey Bieber, Natalie Portman and Gigi Hadid all embody this romantic aesthetic, wearing tulle skirts with frills, chic tights, pristinely coiffed hairstyles and wearing balletcore as the latest it trend.
Balletcore has now made an impactful statement in nail art. This spring, expect sophisticated pink French tips with tonal gradients of iced lattes or dot nail art designs sure to turn heads.
So while Plazacore and Dark Academia may have faded out of fashion, ballet-inspired nails are set to become your new go-to style this summer. Pirouetting around in these pretty pastel manicures all summer long.
