Why Milk Tea Nails Are a Must-Try
People love milk tea nails because they are classy and complement both casual and formal wear. Neutral colors are magic like that. Their chameleon-like nature lets you go from the office to vacation without stopping to change your nail color. If you find a great match for your skin tone, a creamy brown can make you glow with health. Moreover, beige nails allow your clothing, jewelry, makeup, and accessories to take center stage.
How to Get Milk-Tea Nails
Are you ready to try milk tea nails? Their beauty is in their simplicity. So, start with any shape or length for your nails, whatever you feel best wearing. All lengths and styles look good with beige. If you’re feeling trendy, go with straight edges as that’s the hottest shape of the moment.
Next, since this is a neutral nail color, the secret is in the color palette. You can play with shades ranging from milky white with just a whisper of brown to creamy caramel. Every tea drinker has a preference for how much milk they want in their beverage. The deciding factor may be matching what else you plan to wear.
Then, the tricky part is choosing the undertone of your nail polish. Whether you lean towards cooler or warmer tones, there's a perfect beige for you.
Knowing your skin's undertone is a game-changer for choosing nail colors and flattering clothes alike. Some milk tea shades are warm and cozy for olive tones. Meanwhile, cool beige shades complement pink undertones.
Peek at your wrist in daylight. If your veins look blue or purplish, you're cool-toned. If they look green, you're warm-toned. If you can’t tell, grab a piece of pure white paper, and hold it next to your skin for comparison. Once you can determine the difference, you can find a flattering shade of polish more easily.
Now, it’s difficult to know if the polish shade you see online will look the same on your fingertips. If you have questions about whether it’s warm or cool, please ask us. We’ll get back to you ASAP.
Finally, here’s a suggestion. If you make a custom color for your milk tea nails, try to be precise and take notes so you can replicate it again later. An old glass eyedropper is useful and can be cleaned with acetone for reuse.
Suggestions for Styling Milk Tea Nails
Milk tea nails offer the perfect balance of subtlety and sophistication. Their neutral tone serves as the ideal accessory for various fashion pairings.
First, there’s casual chic like a white tee paired with jeans. Your milk tea nails add classiness to this timeless look. Accessorize this outfit with discreet gold or silver jewelry for a hint of sparkle. Finish off with a pair of white sneakers or neutral-colored flats for a relaxed yet polished look.
But milk tea nails are also ideal for a professional setting. Pair them with understated shades like grey or navy for a harmonious blend of professional and stylish.
For an evening out, try milk tea nails with formal wear. It’s a lovely time to add extra bling with a metallic clutch and extra sparkly jewelry.
If you love a Bohemian look, beige nails are gorgeous with earthy tones and a flowy dress.
These are just a few ideas to style milk tea nails with any outfit.
