Well-groomed hands and nails have always been considered a woman's calling card. Currently, various modern nail styles dominate beauty salons. Among the main styles are metallic finishes, which use metallic sheen polishes, and the 3D effect, achieved by adding raised patterns to the design.

"Soap nails" is a nail style inspired by the appearance of soap bubbles. Delicate, semi-transparent, and milky tones create an effect of clean and well-maintained hands. They look like they're covered with a light layer of soap, giving hands a fresh and light feel. They are subtle yet distinctive, making them suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions. To achieve the "soapy lightness" effect on the nails, focus on several key elements.

Regarding colors, delicate pastels and shades of milky white, beige, pink, or blue are predominant. The key is achieving translucency and subtle shine, best accomplished with gel polishes or by layering classic hybrid polishes.

Depending on your preference, you can add light decorations such as pearl beads, minimal ombré, or a "wet look" effect resembling water drops on the nail's surface.
