Syrup Nails Are the Latest Mani Trend

Food-inspired manis have made waves in beauty for some time now, from glazed donut nails to blueberry milk manis. Professional nail artist Anastasiia Istomina sees syrup nails as being more subdued and minimalistic in their approach.

Syrup gels (commonly referred to as jelly or nudi gels) are semi-sheer colors designed for gradual build-up in thin layers, making them the ideal choice for creating intricate ombre designs or subtle MLBB (my-lips-but-better) effects.

Nude

Nude nail polishes provide a timeless and classic aesthetic, complementing every style from dark skin to lighter skin tones. Nude shades make an elegant and feminine statement without overshadowing your outfit.

Neutral bases provide an effortless canvas for shimmery top coats to shine with minimal effort, and their mix-and-match palette gives you endless ways to customize your manicure. Whether you prefer creating subtle skittle effects or subtly adding glitter accents, creamy neutrals make an excellent palette cleanser and can easily be refreshed in one coat!

Mavala offers the Nude Mauve Shade which suits medium skin tones perfectly and is both cruelty- and vegan-free! All it requires for an at-home manicure is one coat with clear top coat; alternatively try our Nude Activated Treatment Polish which brightens nails without needing base or top coat!

Pistachio Milk

As much as we adore metallics, chrome powders, and charm-embellished tips, there’s one particular glossy nail trend taking over this season: syrup nails. A blend between jelly nails and classic manis, syrup nails offer the ideal blend of polish and simplicity – offering chic yet playful yet eye-catching results.

Milky hues like Creme, Pale Rose and Hortencia create a soft yet natural look that feels both refreshing and flattering on all skin tones. Their translucence emulates that of an ultra-creamy coffee drink or melting marshmallows – creating an aesthetic that’s fresh yet flattering on every complexion.

Try adding some shimmer and glitter to your milky mani for an unexpected twist. To achieve the look, apply a light coat of Pale Rose on each nail, using our must-have Mani Helper to create a textured French tip using Silver Glitter before topping with high-shine top coat to finish your manicure!

Rose Gold

Rose gold nails add an eye-catching element of glamour to your look. This trending hue looks great on any skin tone and works well with different base colors and nail art styles – even try mixing your rose gold polish with other trending hues like sage green or soft lavender for an eye-catching ombre effect!

Glitter options work beautifully with rose gold nails, particularly metallic and holographic glitters that shine brightly and catch the light, adding dimension and interest to your manicure. These shimmery gems will surely take your manicure from basic to stunning in no time at all!

To keep your nails looking their best and freshest, select non-toxic or low-odor polish, apply cuticle oil regularly, and book regular manicures. Also, store nail polishes properly so they last longer while preventing clumping; have a small bottle of rose gold polish handy for quick touch ups; use gentle removers that don’t dry out your cuticles and nails when taking off their polish.

Glitter

Glitter adds the perfect pop of sparkle to any look. From shimmery silver French manicures to multidimensional holographic masterpieces like those created by editorial nail artist Steph Stone, there are endless ways glitter can elevate your style.

For a subtler approach, trace fine lines with bronze or metallic polish over transparent or nude polish for an elegant and subtle effect. It’s the perfect way to highlight certain parts of the nail such as its ridges or cuticles!

Syrup gels are another great choice for creating gel ombre designs, since their translucent formula reveals more of the gradient through. This provides for a more natural finish with less technique needed than traditional ombre looks that require precise application and blending techniques; plus they help cover imperfections on nail plates or under designs more easily than other options. To achieve natural-looking gradations apply thin layers focusing the paint where you want it opaquer before curing between each step.
