Winter 2025 soap nails — the main manicure trend

Soap nails are the latest trend in the manicure world, winning the hearts of minimalists and fans of natural beauty. Forget bright colors and glitter. The spotlight is now on nails that look as though you’ve just washed your hands with gentle soap and applied a drop of nourishing cream.

Novyny.LIVE takes a closer look at this new trend.

This style exudes a sense of care and natural elegance, yet it involves a meticulous attention to detail. From perfectly groomed cuticles to the delicate shine on the nails, every aspect of this manicure speaks of sophistication and simplicity.

What is the secret of "soap manicure"?

The main idea is to emphasize the natural beauty of the nails. To do this, use a transparent or barely noticeable nude varnish that harmonizes with the skin tone. Shades such as pastel pink, milky, or light beige perfectly complement the look.

To achieve the perfect look, you should:

• Prepare your nails. Trim the cuticles, shape your nails (oval or soft square), and moisturize the skin with cuticle oil.

• Apply a base coat. This will smooth the nail surface and prevent imperfections.

• Apply two layers of polish. This ensures an even, rich color without streaks.

• Finish with a top coat. A glossy finish will give your nails a healthy shine, creating the "just washed hands" effect.

Why soap nails are becoming so popular?

This style has already conquered the red carpet and the hearts of celebrities as Emma Stone, Selena Gomez, and Kate Hudson who have chosen it for official events, and it's no wonder. Soap manicure perfectly complements any look, adding a touch of lightness and sophistication.

However, it's not just for the celebrities. It is an ideal choice for those who love minimalism but want to look well-groomed. Such a manicure does not require frequent updating and is suitable for any nail length, although short lengths look the most elegant.
