Pearly nails are back for summer, and essie's Pillow Talk The Talk is the perfect shade

A close-up of someone's hand holding the Essie Pillow Talk The Talk nail colour, and with it applied to their nails, alongside a product shot of the nail polish and some pink nail polish streaks/ all featured all a pink, green and purple gradient template.

If you're looking for a subtle but glamorous update on this year's milky pink manicures, essie's Pillow Talk The Talk might just be the answer, with its soft, pearlescent sheen and Ballet Slipper-esque tint...

As far as the 2025 nail trends are concerned, milky pink shades are very much in, and while yes, some bright looks have emerged this summer (take sorbet nails, for instance), these sorts of sheer nail polishes are still very much leading the charge. So much so, in fact, that we've spotted searches soar for the likes of OPI's Bubble Bath and essie's Mademoiselle. The beauty of a subtle, soapy pink nail look is how easy it is to achieve at home, with these traditional, air-drying formulas, which is clearly what many are opting for.
