Kourtney Kardashian: reality-TV star, mother-to-be, and firmly in her stealth-wealth-nail era. Days after announcing her latest pregnancy [2], on June 26, Kardashian posted a picture of her milk-bath manicure [3], which was in line with her minimalist beauty [4] philosophy.
Courtesy of her go-to manicurist Kim Truong [5], Kardashian's nails were kept their natural short length and filed into a square shape [6]. They were then painted a pale, milky-white shade, and an almost imperceptible baby-french line [7] was added along each tip.
Milk-bath nails have been trending over the last few years, thanks in part to the resurgence of barely-there nail looks. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian [8], Gabrielle Union [9], and Madonna [10] have all been spotted in their own versions of the manicure, and the trend has become so popular that it has inspired a variety of spin-off looks, like the "blueberry" and "strawberry-milk" manicures [11]. To make your version of the milk-bath trend stand out from the rest, embed dried flowers into the base color to create a true bath-like design that even Cleopatra would envy.
If you're more of a maximalist when it comes to your nails, you can add stickers, rhinestones, or even charms to dress up your manicure and create an unforgettable beauty moment. Take a closer look at Kardashian's manicure below.
