After months of Barbie pink, lemon girl summer, and mermaid core blues and glitters, it seems everyone is on the lookout for a manicure that’s a little more understated.

Although Hailey Bieber’s signature glazed donut nails have become many people’s go-tos for a natural looking design with a little bit of flair, it seems TikTok has found a brand new way of getting a subtle manicure; syrup nails.The trend may have originated in Japan back in 2015, but it was its popularity in Korea that brought it to global attention thanks to everyone’s current obsession with K-beauty trends.

Syrup nails are an ultra glossy sheer manicure that uses just one transluscent colour to create an ombré effect, with a syrup-inspired finish that makes them the perfect addition to the quiet luxury aesthetic that’s dominating at the moment.

Nick Drewe, Beauty Trend Expert at Online Discount Platform Wethrift, said: “We’re seeing more people gravitate towards more natural, clean-looking manicures, like classic French tips, soft nudes, subtle pinks and minimalistic nail designs.This embodies the elegance of simplicity and the ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic, which is trending right now.
