It seems the dewy, glossy look is not exclusive to our faces and lips anymore.
The lip gloss nail trend has been everywhere.
One TikToker described it as, โmy nails, but betterโ because of its natural, minimalist aesthetic.
What is the lip gloss nail trend?
Lip gloss nails mimic lip gloss on lips. This means that your actual bare nail is used, with no undercoat of any natural-looking colour, topped with a coat of sheer, sometimes pink-tinted nail polish.

The difference between lip gloss nails and other natural-looking nail trends, like the glazed doughnut, is that the paint is sheer. This means that you will be able to see your natural white fingertips through the coat of paint.
The lip gloss nail trend is practical and perfect for mothers and women who donโt like their nails to mimic the wicked Witch of the West.
