Milky nails are over—we're making way for BB cream nails now

Woman with bb cream nails on her phone.

There’s something about a new nail trend that gets me excited—particularly when it involves a nude, sheer polish. Simple it may be, but, when paired with a neat cuticle and classic shape, there really is no nail colour chicer, in my opinion. Recently however, I stumbled across a nail trend that took my love for the timeless shade to a whole new level, and, I predict it’s going to be a big hit with anyone who’s a fan of a minimalist mani—say hello to BB cream nails. 

Made popular by Canadian brand, Gelcare, BB nail polishes work in a similar way to the blemish balms for your skin. Slightly different from milky manicures (which deliver a higher pigment), BB cream nails offer a layer of light, sheer coverage, they create a natural-looking, glossy base that acts like a veil on the nails, blurring and camouflaging any imperfections for a perfectly polished finish. The result? Think glazed-doughnut skin in nail form. Yep, now you see why I’m obsessed with them.
