Milky color gradients are not only in demand in coffee, but also on our nails. This is how the trendy “Lavender Latte Nails” succeed.
Lavender in coffee or on nails? What sounds crazy at first are two of the biggest trends of 2023. “Lavender Latte Nails” are inspired by a decadent coffee drink. The lavender latte consists of espresso, lavender syrup and frothed (plant-based) milk. Milky tones are also very popular on the nails at the moment – celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian Barker (44) or Zendaya (26) can’t get enough of soft lavender tones on their fingernails.
“Lavender Latte Nails”: This is how the nail design succeeds
The “Lavender Latte Nails” is a playful nail design that is suitable for every occasion. Whether in everyday life or for special occasions. This is how the milky nail design can be easily implemented at home – you only need a little time for an extensive manicure.
Step by step guide
The first step is to clean the nails thoroughly and push back the cuticles. The nails are then brought into the desired shape with a file. A base coat ensures an even surface, protects the nails and ensures that the actual nail polish color lasts better.
A milky base coat is then applied to all nails. This can be a delicate cream or a light shade of lavender. Let this layer dry well!
Now the gradient comes into play. It is best to alternately apply the lavender shade and the milky color to a small sponge. Then dab the color very lightly onto the nails with the sponge until there is a smooth transition. Repeat this step until the desired result is achieved. With a fine nail art brush, filigree lines or patterns can then be drawn on the nails. Once the nail design is finished, the final step should be to apply a coat of clear nail polish to seal the design and make it last longer.
