6 "Quiet Luxury" Nail Ideas to Bring to Your Next Salon Appointment

The perfect quiet-luxury nail idea is every bit as whimsical as it sounds. "Cloud nails are a play on the milky, creamy tones we see in clouds," Sara Clark, owner of Freaky Fresh Phalanges in Sola Salons, previously told POPSUGAR. "They are dreamy and soft, sheer in finish, and even can feature a light chrome for a whimsical feel."

To get the look, we love Essie Marshmallow ($10) or, for a more pearlescent finish, Zoya Leia ($12).

Nothing screams "luxury" quite like the rich-girl nail trend, which is "a modern take on a sophisticated classic," celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik previously told POPSUGAR. "[The] color is a creamy, full-coverage nude playing homage to the greige inspiration originally seen with Chanel."

Bachik suggests choosing a nail color that's either one shade lighter or one shade darker than your natural skin tone, which gives the look of a deliberate, yet subtle, choice. To top everything off, he suggests using a shiny topcoat.

To get the look, we love OPI Put It in Neutral ($11).

Rose-water nails feature light and muted pink shades in order to mimic the look of rose water — perfect for that quiet-luxury look. The neutral hues can be worn with any outfit, as well as any nail shape and length. The tones most often seen with this trend are warmer than anything you'd see with milk-bath nails, which makes it a great look for the hotter months.

To get the look, our pick is Essie Sugar Daddy ($10).

French manicures had a resurgence last year, and they've been going strong since then. A celebrity favorite, there are many different iterations of the look, but if you're going for quiet luxury, we say a classic french manicure is key.

To get the look, we love OPI Alpine Snow ($10) for the tips and OPI Lisbon Wants Moor OPI ($11) for the base.

The '90s supermodel manicure, a trend first coined by celebrity nail artist Tom Bachik, is one of our favorite picks for the quiet-luxury aesthetic. The look is an editor favorite and typically features a sheer pink base coat with cleaned-up nail beds.

To achieve this trend, our favorite shade is OPI Bubble Bath ($11).

Milk-bath nails have been everywhere we look over the last few years, from red carpets to our social media feeds. The trend started with colorful dried flowers being embedded into a milky acrylic, but the look now most often features just a milky-white base color. There have been many iterations of the trend, including strawberry milk and blueberry milk, and we're sure there will be more to come.

To get the look, we love OPI Funny Bunny ($9).
