The Rich Girl Nails manicure trend among American celebrities is loved and replicated in salons around the world.
Between discreet luxury and nude elegance, it didn’t take much to pique our curiosity. To test this trend, I went to my regular nails artist to request a rich girl nails manicure.
I arrived at the salon with photos of the work of Tom Bachik, the nails artist of JLO, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez and left my hands in the care of my expert.
Result: I love it. The caramel nude beige color – that’s how I would describe it – is shiny, smooth, and suits both a professional outfit and a more eccentric look. The icy mirror effect on the nails is truly divine.
Spoiler alert: the Rich Girl Nails manicure trend is a must-have, easy to replicate, and instantly adds a luxurious, fresh, and clean touch to your look. We adopt it without hesitation!
Where to find inspiration to adopt the Rich Girl Nails trend?
It’s THE manicure of the moment and it’s ultra-simple to replicate.
Since it’s a simple trend, without fuss, it perfectly complements and balances the floral print trend this summer.
For inspiration, you can find plenty of ideas on Pinterest or Instagram by using the hashtag #richgirlnails.
Next step: Visit a professional salon. Personally, I have never done a manicure at home, preferring to leave the care of my nails to a professional whose job it is.
However, to showcase my beautiful nails, I take care of my hands daily. My secret? Calendula cream, which deeply nourishes my dry-prone skin.
To successfully achieve your manicure, choose the color carefully, and don’t hesitate to ask for advice from your expert. Beauty salons are well-informed about trends.
Last step and certainly not the least, we own it and ask for our luxury manicure!
Why having a good manicure is more important than you think?
The manicure is often considered a detail of the look! Yet it is much more important than you might think.
Indeed, having beautiful hands and a perfect or nearly perfect manicure makes you a well-groomed person who pays attention to details and has a sense of aesthetics. Yes, that’s a lot of qualities hidden under a few fake nails.
Hands are a part of the body that attract attention, which is why having a good manicure is important.
What I loved about testing the Rich Girl Nails trend is that, on one hand, it is impossible to make a fashion faux pas (unless you really try to!), and on the other hand, it is discreet and easy to wear.
What your manicure says about you
Your manicure says a lot about you. The rich girl nails trend, if you adopt it, tells others that you are a clean person and a bit of a perfectionist. It’s safe to say that I recommend getting a manicure before a job interview or an important meeting.
Unkempt hands and bitten nails will betray a stressed person who doesn’t take time for themselves and therefore struggles to manage their priorities. In short, definitely not the image we want to project.
How to wear the manicure well?
Choosing the right color
Preferably nude, one tone above or below your skin color.
One of the key colors of the rich girl nails manicure is nude beige or caramel. The advantage: it looks great on both dark and light skin. However, to enhance my nails, I preferred to go for a slightly darker shade that stands out a bit from my skin color. In the end, the result was lighter than I thought, but I love my shiny, clean nails, and the color matches absolutely all the pieces in my wardrobe.
Since the key colors of the Rich Girl Nails trend are solid, shiny, and in nude tones, it’s hard to go wrong.
At first, I wanted to go for a coffee-caramel color (like the middle finger in the photo), but ultimately, I walked out with powdery nude beige nails (more like the ring finger in the photo).
Choosing the right nail shape
I hesitated between Squoval or Almond but ultimately opted for the Almond shape. Having quite small hands, I think it’s the perfect shape as it naturally elongates the fingers.
If, like me, you work on a computer, limit the length of your nails to 1cm maximum; otherwise, it becomes difficult to type without struggling.
Advice for moms: Stiletto nails may look tempting, but after trying them during my last manicure, they do not work at all with the fast-paced life of a parent. They are neither practical for changing diapers nor for dressing a child without scratching them. Let’s just say my son wasn’t too pleased (I know, poor thing, but he got over it).
