Milky nails are all the rage among celebrities and It-girls these days. From Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez to Zendaya and Angelina Jolie, everyone seems to be sporting this glamorous manicure. But the latest star to rock this trend during New York Fashion Week was none other than the fabulous Emily Ratajkowski herself.

While strutting the baby pink carpet at Victoria’s Secret’s comeback event, EmRata stunned in a sleek yet vibrant ensemble that perfectly embodied the brand’s new aesthetic. And let’s not forget about her milky pink manicure, which stole the show. Her nails were flawlessly styled in a medium-length stiletto shape, matching the color of the carpet. Each nail had a glossy finish that not only reflected light but also made them look strong and healthy.

EmRata’s makeup was understated yet glamorous, with a matte complexion, lightly defined eyes, and glossy pinky-nude lips. She rocked a loose middle part hairstyle that added volume, bounce, and shine to her locks, with loose curls that teetered between straight and wavy.

But fear not, my fellow beauty enthusiasts, as copying EmRata’s look is easier than you think, especially her minimalist manicure. Start by removing any existing nail polish with nail polish remover. Next, apply cuticle oil to soften and push back your cuticles, then wipe them clean. Cut and file your nails to achieve the desired medium stiletto shape, just like EmRata’s gorgeous nails.

Rachel Apfel Glass, the founder of Glosslab, suggests trying a couple of coats of a light, white polish for that perfect milky look. Glosslab’s nail-strengthening nail polish in OG White or OG Cotton are excellent choices. OPI’s Funny Bunny is also a staple for achieving this trendy manicure. Of course, any soft white color you have in your collection should work just fine. Remember to apply thin coats and allow each layer to dry thoroughly for a flawless finish.

If you prefer a professional touch, celebrity manicurist Betina Goldstein recommends CND Plexigel in Oat Milk. This versatile product can be used as a traditional gel polish, for nail extensions, or to create stunning 3D designs. Its thicker formula provides the perfect dimension that’s synonymous with the milky nail trend.

So, whether you’re attending a high-profile event or simply want to elevate your everyday look, the milky nail trend is here to make a statement. Follow EmRata’s lead, and you’ll be turning heads with your fabulous manicure in no time. Stay glamorous, my friends!
