Stylish, Creamy and Cool—Milky Matcha Is This Season’s Most Sought-After Nail Colour
Looking for a new autumn nail trend? The milky matcha manicure might be for you.
Now and again, a nail trend comes along that is so good, it convinces me to ditch my milky manicure altogether. I'm a neutral nail gal through and through, but occasionally I will switch things up, especially at the start of a new season. So, when I saw the "milky matcha" manicure on Instagram, I was instantly sold.
Stylish, creamy and cool, a milky matcha manicure feels like the perfect autumnal take on my usual milky mani. I first spotted this trend on expert nail artist Mateja Novakovic's account. The creamy green hue immediately caught my attention, as it looked soft and subtle whilst still incorporating one of this season's biggest shades. Novakovic used Manucurist's brand-new Milky Matcha nail polish to create this look, which I plan on adding to my basket ASAP.
Below, I've rounded up some of my favourite milky matcha nail looks, along with Manucurist's polish (and more milky matcha shades), so you can recreate the look at home. You are welcome...

This is the manicure that convinced me to ditch my neutral polish.
The nail shape, the colour...I love everything about this look.
Milky matcha nail art, anyone?
Pair your polish with a high-shine top coat for a salon-worthy finish.
