From Suhana Khan To Ananya Panday, Gen Z Stars Swear By The Naked Nails Trends And You Should Too!
Here's all you need to know!
Quiet luxury may have started with the fashion industry but it has seeped into the beauty industry with trends like stealth wealth face and quiet luxury hair. And now, allow me to introduce another quiet luxury beauty trend inspired by Gen Z celebs, the naked nails! Leading stars including Khushi Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Ananya Panday, Janhvi Kapoor, Shanaya Kapoor and more are jumping on this beauty trend bandwagon. But what is the naked nail trend and why should you try it? Allow me to elaborate.
What Is The Naked Nail Trend?
This trend is all about keeping your nails natural and healthy. It’s about clean, well-groomed, short, bare nails. It quite literally means keeping your nails naked but healthy and clean-looking always. This quiet luxury trend is not just a trend because it’s effortless, minimal and natural but also because it’s polished. The naked nails trend shows that you’re confident in your skin and don’t shy away from baring it all because you’re too chilled out to worry about trends. Not following nail art and manicure trends to follow the naked nails trend is the new cool!

So, Are Your Nails Supposed To Actually Be Naked?
The answer is no. No, you don’t necessarily have to keep your nails bare to follow the naked nails trend. If you scroll through the Instagram handle of your favourite actress, you might notice pictures where they’re flaunting clean and short but healthy nails. But that’s not always easy to achieve. If you want your nails to look natural but healthier, you can opt for a coat of nude nail paint or a barely-there colour. You can also opt for a coat of clear nail paint on top of nude nail paint or simply use the clear coat to give your bare nails a glossy finish.

Can You Keep Your Nails Long? Or Get Extensions?
Yes and yes. If you take a look at the Instagram handles of Gen Z stars like Shanaya Kapoor or Suhana Khan or even Khushi Kapoor, you’ll notice that they either opt for naked nails or if they do opt for nail extensions, they keep it nude and natural.
So, if your long nails are not easy to manage and don’t look very natural, you can always get press-on nails or nail extensions. But remember to always keep your nail art extremely minimal. You can, however, try natural ombre nails like Suhana Khan.

Why Is The Naked Nails Trend Popular Among Gen Z Stars?
The reason is honestly very simple. They’re easy to maintain. Naked nails literally need no maintenance if you actually keep your nails bare and trimmed. In case you do add a coat of clear gloss, we know it’s not going to chip away every time you wash your hair or dive into the pool. But nude nail paint will require regular touch-ups but that’s much easier to manage than opting for a nail art trend or nail extension trend. Plus investing in nude nail paint and clear nail polish is much cheaper than booking an appointment for your nails every week. Another reason why the naked nails trend is in is because it adds to your clean girl aesthetic.

But Hold On, There’s More To Naked Nails Trend!
The naked nail trend is not just about bare nails but also about healthy nails. This means that for all that money you’re saving on nail art and nail extensions, you need to invest in your nail care! We all know that beauty trends are leaning more towards skincare and skincare-infused makeup, the same way nail trends are also becoming about more natural nails and nail care. This means that you must book yourself a manicure to pamper your nails at least once a month. Your everyday nail care routine should include hand and nail cream as well as cuticle oil to keep your nails and hands moisturised and some SPF for when you step out.
