Spring is all about layering. From stylish trench coats to classic cotton jumpers, I’m always on the lookout for those lightweight layers that can take my outfit to the next level. However, did you know that layering is also a popular nail trend for the warmer months? Yep, if you didn’t know, all of the best nail artists are layering their favourite sheer nail polishes in order to get the perfect milky finish.
I don’t know about you, but I think that this sheer, milky nail trend is one of the chicest options to go for this spring, and there’s a certain shade combination that has stolen my heart.
You see, I was scrolling through some of my favourite nail looks from last spring and summer to help get inspired for the season ahead, and I saw that one of my favourite nail artists, Iram Shelton, had created the most elegant almond milk manicure by layering two popular OPI nail polishes. What nail polishes did she use, I hear you ask? None other than Funny Bunny and Put it in Neutral.

You can’t tell me that this isn’t the chicest manicure you have ever seen. I love the milky taupe shade that these two nail polishes create when layered together, and the sheer finish is so on trend.
If you want something just a little bit lighter, I also noticed another top nail artist, Georgia Rae, mixing these two nail shades with OPI’s Baby, Take a Vow for a super-sheer, milky-white mani.
