Coconut Milk Nails Will Magically Boost the Look of Your Summer Tan
Recently the surest indicator of a manicure going viral is if it has the word milk in the name. Some examples? Lavender-milk nails, blueberry-milk nails, and strawberry-milk nails, to name a few. The newest iteration to have on rotation? Coconut-milk nails, a trend we predict will dominate well into autumn. Case in point: Dua Lipa has worked the look with both a dress and a leather jacket this summer.

If youāre tiring of the milk-bath manicure, coconut-milk nails are a good alternative. They have the ability to look edgy while still appearing chic, and theyāre trending just in time to inject new life into our waning summer tans.
So what exactly are coconut-milk nails? Put simply, theyāre starker than the sheer milky-white nails weāve seen all over our feeds of late. Like coconut milk itself, the polish is an opaque milky-white hue. And while the color flashes off your nails, itās glossier than old-school, matte Wite-Out nails, but it also lacks the pearlescent glimmer of white chrome nails.
Instead, coconut-milk nails hit the sweet spot between a bold lacquer and the type of neutral mani that instantly elongates your fingers and makes the tips look brighter. You donāt have to worry about matching your nails to your outfit, either, as white goes with everything, and best of all, each stroke works on every skin tone.
The cherry on top is that coconut-milk nails donāt require pro-level skills or complicated nail artārather, they can easily be created at home. Two coats of polish finished with a glossy topcoat yields a punchy pop of white; mixing the polish and topcoat together allows you to choose how opaque you want to go.
Here are some of our favorite coconut-milk mani inspirations.
