Lavender in coffee or on nails? What sounds crazy at first are two of the biggest trends of 2023. “Lavender Latte Nails” are inspired by a decadent coffee drink. The lavender latte consists of espresso, lavender syrup and frothed (plant-based) milk. Milky tones are also very popular on the nails at the moment – celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian Barker (44) or Zendaya (26) can’t get enough of soft lavender tones on their fingernails.
The “Lavender Latte Nails” is a playful nail design that is suitable for every occasion. Whether in everyday life or for special occasions. This is how the milky nail design can be easily implemented at home – you only need a little time for an extensive manicure.
The first step is to clean the nails thoroughly and push back the cuticles. The nails are then brought into the desired shape with a file. A base coat ensures an even surface, protects the nails and ensures that the actual nail polish color lasts better.
A milky base coat is then applied to all nails. This can be a delicate cream or a light shade of lavender. Let this layer dry well!
Now the gradient comes into play. It is best to alternately apply the lavender shade and the milky color to a small sponge. Then dab the color very lightly onto the nails with the sponge until there is a smooth transition. Repeat this step until the desired result is achieved. With a fine nail art brush, filigree lines or patterns can then be drawn on the nails. Once the nail design is finished, the final step should be to apply a coat of clear nail polish to seal the design and make it last longer.
