On March 30, Gabrielle Union [2] attended the 2023 GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles, accompanied by her stepdaughter, Zaya Wade. Aside from the fashionable duo looking absolutely stunning in their respective outfits, Union was wearing a milk-bath manicure [3] that was nothing short of a classic.
Union's nails were filed into a short, rounded-oval shape [4] and painted a milky-pink color [5]. She opted out of any additional nail art [6] allowing the simple manicure to contrast with her colorful sequined outfit.
Milk-bath nails are aptly named after the ancient beauty practice. They traditionally use a soft, cloudy-white shade for the base color and can incorporate dried flowers that look like they're floating in the manicure. The look has been worn by countless celebrities like Kylie Jenner [7], Reese Witherspoon [8], and Courtney Cox [9], so it's fair to say it's moved beyond a quick-hit trend and is now a certified staple in its own right. Milk-bath nails look good with any nail shape, so if you're due for a new set, you can't go wrong with this hue. For some timely inspiration, take a closer look at Union's nails below.
