The next evolution of the “clean girl aesthetic” is nail tinting.
This summer’s new staple is a shiny, healthy alternative to spring’s bold, bright red nail trend.
Nail tint (also known as “nail glow”) is a clear coating that gives you a natural-looking nail polish that you can easily apply at home in just a few minutes.
These clear formulas not only keep nails looking healthy, they also help those who suffer from dry, brittle, flaking and uneven nails caused by years of polish, acrylics or nail biting.
Beauty experts liken them to the effects of a stylishly hydrating lip oil.
“Nail tints are clear, tinted nail polishes that are designed to complement your natural nail color,” manicurist Ami Streets tells Refinery 29. “They leave a super shiny finish and give the impression of ‘perfect’ nails in one easy step, so they’re a really quick way to make your nails look ‘well-groomed’ with minimal product.”
Nail tints often contain strengthening, nourishing and brightening ingredients like almond oil and AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) that can significantly improve the appearance and health of your nails.
This simple manicure only requires one coat of Nail Tint for a summery glow, but multiple coats will make the tint color more visible. A single coat of Nail Glow only takes seconds to dry, making it perfect for on-the-go.
Similar to under-eye concealer, if your nails get smudged with nail polish, a purple nail tint can fix the yellowing of your fingers.
