Manicure minimalism has officially entered its 2.0 era. No longer about sharp lines and a pared-down looks, the mood is much more clean and refreshing. It features barely there polishes and natural nail lengths and shapes. A few trends have emerged with this aesthetic— think wellness and naked nails but none is more fitting than soap nails. The look is defined by subtly soapy shades, like baby pink and creamy pearl, which are often paired with well-groomed cuticles and short nails. Recreating soap nails at home comes down to finding the right polish. Luckily, we’ve gathered the best bottles for nailing a soft and sudsy soap manicure below.

The best polish shades for soap nails

This pale-toned polish is inspired by faded rose petals. Its subtle pink hue perfectly mimics a healthy flush and gives the appearance of nourished nails with the right amount of color.

Gucci Glossy Nail Polish in Ellen Blush ($35)

Glossy is the perfect name for Gucci’s polishes since they deliver a subtle pop of color with a slick, dewy finish. While other polishes have more of a translucent look, this blush shade gives you a glossy, well-manicured appearance in just one coat.

Static Nails Glass Lacquer in Barley There ($16)

As the name suggests, this polish is designed to give you a subtle wash of color. The shade is a soft nude with pink undertones and feels like a fresh update to classic nudes. Even the finish has a fleshy look that’s on par with the soap nail trend.

Gitti No.002 in Jelly Peach ($20)

Soap nails are all about creating a clean and natural look, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to soft pinks. This peachy shade offers a similar flush of color to give you a fresh and trim look.

Zoya Naked Manicure Perfector in Buff ($10)

Though this polish is designed to be layered with other shades, it works just as well as standalone nail polish. The buff hue is perfect for soap nails since it adds a subtle pink tone and flatters a range of skin tones.
