If you’re already over glitz nails in favour of something more simple and fresh for Jan, you’re not alone. Victoria Beckham is the latest celebrity to jump on the ‘soap nail’ trend – which takes clean nail designs to another level, recreating that squeaky-clean fresh mani feeling (when your nails have been scrubbed, buffed, trimmed and filed), to create a manicure that looks like it’s just emerged from soapy suds after a bubble bath.
As much as we love a playful nail design like 3D details, mix n match designs or colourful chromes, minimalist manicures are now inspiring us again. And, heading up the trends are the immaculately-neat soap nails, which are quickly gaining more popularity after picking up a loyal fan base last year.
In a photo shared to her Instagram on 12 January, Victoria Beckham posted a selfie which saw her dressed in a long, ultra-fitted midnight blue gown from her collection, with a gathered circle detail at her waist and voluminous pads at her shoulders.
She paired it with a soft, sheer smoky eye, her hair swept back neatly into a ballerina bun and her subtle soap nails – which despite being a timeless shade of pinky-nude, shone like they’d just been scrubbed clean for extra elegance.
