A natural look doesn’t have to be plain or boring at all. Today's nude-color manicures include subtle shimmer and modern touches that boost your confidence while matching everything in your life. Let’s explore how nude nails can be your go-to style for looking sophisticated with no special occasion needed.
Nude Nail Art: Empower Your Look with Sophistication and Charm
French Tips Aren’t from France
French tips are the number one go-to nude nail style. Did you know it was an American man who invented the “French” manicure?
In the 1970s, Jeff Pink, founder of Orly, provided beauty supplies to movie and TV studios. A director asked for a polish color that worked for all costume changes instead of having to repaint nails so often. Anyone who has used nail lacquer can understand the dilemma. Filming had to stop while waiting for the polish to dry.
Mr. Orly tried freshening up nails with a white pencil for under the tips, but it washed off too easily. So, he showed up with white polish for the tips and rose, pink, and beige for the rest of the nail. The combination would create a natural look that would last through all the wardrobe changes. Then he introduced the look at a fashion show in Paris and the rest is history.
Natural Shades that Match You Perfectly
The essential trick for flawless French tips is matching and beautifying the wearer’s skin color. The polish shade needs to enhance warm, cool, and neutral tones for dark, medium, and light complexions.
The quest for the ideal hue gets more complicated when you realize there are hundreds of choices among all the polish brands on the market. Thankfully, the Lavis PS Collection simplifies choosing the perfect nail color.The six shades are the trendiest nude polish colors that offer a timeless look for all seasons. Once you have this set on hand, you’re ready to do anyone’s nails on the spot. Moreover, these Lavis gel colors are low-odor and toxin-free with no harsh ingredients to harm nails.

Chrome It for Extra Shine
Remember how glazed nails took off in 2022? At first, it was nearly impossible to find chrome nail powder and artists were resorting to using eye shadow! Happily, that’s not the case anymore since chrome powder is much more accessible and available in many colors.
The glazed nail look is still popular. You can see its influence in one of the six Lavis PS nail colors, Cotton Candy, which has a pearly sheen. Plus, you can easily add a chrome sheen to any of the other shades for charming results. Here’s “Timeless Nude” polished with our Chrome Powder number 12, a striking white.
The Clean Aesthetic is On Trend
What is the “clean aesthetic”? In short, it means a flawless, natural style that seem put-together without any effort at all, like you “woke up like this”. It’s minimalist but has a luxurious feel. When applied to nails, it means looking perfectly groomed right down to the shape, color, and cuticles. As you might imagine, nude nail polish is a crucial part of the finished look.
Enjoy Strong, Glossy Nails No Matter What
Even if your natural nails are not looking their best, you can achieve a clean, natural style in minutes. Not with acrylics, soft gel tips, or press-on nails, but with a revolutionary solution. We’re talking about Lavis poly gel, a hybrid solution with a user-friendly learning curve and impressive results.
Poly gel combines the best benefits of two worlds, gel, and acrylics:
- Strong and durable like acrylics, lasting for weeks, but lightweight and flexible like gels
- Repairs and strengthens natural nails, ideal for lengthening them, too
- Low odor, unlike acrylics
- Dries in a nail lamp, not in the air, so you have all the time you need to work with it
- Pre-mixed and ready to use, with the right consistency every time
- Works like a dream with nail molds and easy to sculpt, stays put where you place it
- Available in beautiful nude colors and paintable in any shade
If you dream of flawless, strong nails, poly extension gel will make them happen.
