The ‘no-nicure’ nail trend is having a major moment – but what exactly is it?

Neutral nails are everywhere this season as manicure fans turn to understated hues in pinks, beiges and browns. But if there’s one look that’s reigning supreme on social media it’s the ultra neutral, barely there manicure – also nicknamed the “no-manicure manicure” or “no-nicure”.

Loved by everyone from Molly-Mae Hague and Maura Higgins to Hailey Bieber and Ariana Grande, shiny and healthy looking nails in an understated hue are the go-to right now, whether on a shorter, natural length or longer looks created with the help of extensions.

If you want in on the trend, you’re in luck, as we’ve grilled a couple of experts on the no-mani mani to bring you everything you need to know about creating the perfect neutral nails.

How does the no-manicure manicure work? “The ‘no-manicure manicure’ is the nail take on the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic,” explains Juanita Huber-Millet, founder of luxury nail salon chain Townhouse. “It’s the nail equivalent to the natural, dewy makeup look – so looking super put together and natural, seemingly with minimal effort. “The look starts with a super clean, simple and minimal manicure, so focusing on fantastic cuticle work and nail buffing to ensure that the nail beds are the star of the manicure,” she continues. “It’s then topped off with a sheer and subtle shade, or even just a top coat – there’s something so chic about having your bare, healthy nails shine through!” Want to know which shades to ask for, or which to use if you’re a DIY mani kind of girl?
