The Celebrity-Approved Nude Nail Trend You Need To Try

Many stylish celebs like Selena Gomez and Bella Hadid have started wearing this "anti-trend" trend because painting your fingernails nude can make them look incredibly sophisticated and classy. Accompanied by long, flattering nail shapes, this trend gives the illusion of long, elegant fingers (via TZR). However, this tasteful trend works equally well on long and short nails.

First, you have to find the perfect nude to match your skin tone. Manicurist Jenna Hipp told Refinery29 that if you have fair skin, you should go with a creamy pinkish nude with a blue or yellow undertone; those with medium skin tone look great with a peachy-beige, and if you have dark skin, coffee-colored hues will work best. Once you have found your perfect nude nail polish, you can recreate your version of this viral trend at home. Celebrity manicurist Sarah Bland told Byrdie, "Cornstarch is best, but you can also use baby powder, fine flour, or baking powder" to turn any nail polish to go from shiny to matte. If that sounds a little messy for you, take the advice of nail technician Winnie Huang and carefully steam your nails with a face steamer but be careful not to burn yourself (via Byrdie).

If you don't want to play with baby powder and face steamers, the easiest way to get matte, nude nails might just be to invest in a matte top coat, like the one from OPI (via Bustle).
