Clean Manicure: This is how you wear your nails in a minimalist way in autumn 2024

If there is something like the perfectIf there were, then it would look like this to me: I would like to have my natural nails, only more beautiful. You and I are in luck, this natural look is trending for fall 2024 and is called Clean Manicure. AfterTo radiate even more naturalness this year, it is almost logical that the nails should be allowed to show themselves a little more often as they actually are. So that means: bright nail polishes, eye-catching nail designs and extravagant nail shapes can take a break for now.

Similar to natural make-up, a clean manicure is not achieved by doing nothing. So that the nails shine in a reserved way and the cuticles do not stand out due to dry patchessmoothand moistened, it requires one thing above all, in addition to immaculately brushed nail polish: care.

In a nutshell, a clean manicure is a very minimalist manicure in which the cuticles are maximally cared for and the nails are painted in a light pink or apricot tone. The transition to the white nail tips is no longer visible and theappear uniform and very elegant. If you like, you can also add subtle accents with subtle nail art. For example, small dots or stones in the middle above the nail bed are pretty.

Alternatively, if you like, you can highlight the nail tips in a colorful shade such as coral or light red for a more striking (and slightly less natural) finish. In any case, an accurate, streak-free application of the polish is essential for a clean manicure. And of course, as already mentioned: exemplary well-groomed hands.

The cuticles should be cleaned before applying thebe removed. A special peeling is ideal for this, as it softens the dry areas of skin and can be easily removed after a short exposure time. If you want to remove the cuticles with scissors, you should also soak them beforehand and then gently push them back with a wooden stick. In this step, also remove old nail polish and dirt from the nails.

As with colored nail polishes, a base coat starts here too. This strengthens the nails, perfects the nail surface and prevents discoloration. Now follows the main paint in pink, apricot or milky white. Before applying, it is important that you do not pamper your nails and cuticles with a care product immediately beforehand, otherwise the polish will not last as well. The nails must be free of grease. And: Don't apply too much polish at once (wipe the brush off the bottle) and layer several layers on top of each other. Only then will the color work as it should. You can then use a cotton swab soaked in nail polish remover to remove any paint that has reached the cuticles. For more shine and better durability, this manicure is finished with a top coat.

On the day of the manicure, the nails look great. To ensure that they retain their natural shine, you should care for your hands daily (!). It is best to use a soap for cleaning that retains the skin's moisture and does not dry it out. This is followed by a small amount of hand cream at least once a day, which is gently massaged in. The cuticle is treated with a few dropspampered so that it doesn't dry out and become cracked.
