On June 17, Kourtney Kardashian surprised fans with her baby bump and though it wasn't the focal point, we couldn't help but admire her new layered bob. In fact, we still haven’t gotten enough of the chin-grazing cut. But now, our attention has been redirected to her new milk bath manicure.
Kardashian revealed her new nails via Instagram Stories on June 26, calling them “milky white tiny nails,” which is an apt description, in our opinion. Before we get into this cute neutral manicure, we have to give some props to Kardashian for this fire nailfie she took in her car, with her hand resting on the sterling wheel showing four of her fingers and flaunting the interior of her Mercedez-Benz in the background.
Los Angeles-based nail artist Kim Truong painted each short squoval with two coats of Manucurist’s Green Flash Gel LED Nail Polish in Milky White, curing it after each coat. (The brand also has a regular Green version.) Kardashian's nails are that perfect not-too-opaque, not-too-sheer color that resembles milky water, hence the name. “We chose a milky white color instead of an opaque white because it gives the nails a polished and soft look,” Truong told Allure. She added that the neutral color can complement a wide variety of outfits.
Milk bath nails a.k.a. milky manicures aren't new. You've probably seen them before even if you didn't know the name because they've been trendy for a few years now. We've spotted the white manicure on several celebrities, including Lizzo, Rihanna, and Kendall Jenner as far back as December 2019.
The appeal of the watered-down milk color is understandable. It's a nice alternative to the beige or pale pink that people typically gravitate toward when they want a neutral manicure. And now that this Kardashian sister has given milky manicures her stamp of approval, it's only a matter of time before they start trending once again.
