My Nails But Better: The Beauty of Barely-There Nails

There’s a timeless appeal in simplicity, and nothing says effortless beauty like nails that look polished yet natural. The “my nails but better” trend is all about embracing the clean, minimalist aesthetic while letting your natural nails shine—literally. Inspired by the lip gloss nails trend, this look enhances your nails with a subtle tint and glossy finish, giving you that fresh, just-done glow without the fuss. Think of it as the nail polish equivalent of a perfect no-makeup makeup look: natural, radiant, and oh-so-chic.
