Chocolate milk French manicure: The sweet trend at your fingertips
An addition to the food-inspired beauty trend is the recently trending chocolate milk French manicure trend. This nail trend is all about embracing a chocolaty look, having a light brown and brown combination of colors on your nails. Nail artists and enthusiasts on Instagram and TikTok have been experimenting with various colors and designs to put a fresh spin on classic nail styles.
Understanding the trend
This delightful trend blends the sophistication of the French manicure with a touch of whimsy and creativity. Instead of the classic white French manicure, the nail tips are adorned with a rich, cocoa-brown polish that resembles the color of chocolate milk. This warm, inviting shade beautifully complements darker skin tones and adds a subtle, eye-catching contrast to lighter ones.
How to do it?
Start by shaping and buffing your nails to your desired length and shape. Now apply a clear base coat to protect your nails and create a smooth canvas for the chocolate milk color. Using a milky-blown color nail polish, carefully paint the tips of your nails, mimicking the classic French manicure style. You can use nail guides or tape to help create clean lines.
Finishing touches
Allow the brown tips to dry completely before applying a second coat to achieve the desired opacity. Ensure that the edges are crisp and even. Seal the design with a clear top coat for added shine and longevity. Let it dry. Clean up any mistakes or excess polish around the edges using a nail polish remove and cotton/brush. And voila!
You can apply different shades as well
While the theme is chocolate, you can try this trend in many ways. You can go for small designs over the nails to add "milky" vibes to the look. Another option is to have ombre nails in a light and dark brown combination. If you are not into milk shades, you could also opt for a dark and cool-toned brown as well.
