Bubble bath nails are more or less a sheer, nude pink shade; it’s got nothing to do with bubble or bath. It is a more indulgent shade than the basic pink nude. It’s a barely-there-on-your-nails pink shade.
If one is into a clean aesthetic, this is the most iconic shade to apply to the nails. It is a new trend of muted, milky manis. Unlike many other netural nail trends, these nails aren’t completely sheer. They are a perfect balance between light pink and milky white. In fact, it can be easily customized into a sheer shade by layering a number of coats and the exact nail polish shade that you decide to use.
We have listed a bunch of inspiration on bubble bath nails for your next manicure visit.

How to get bubble bath nails
Start by grooming your nail bed, filing them to the shape you desire, and gently scraping off the cuticles. A light buffing to the nails will help prepare a good base for the nail polish to stick for a longer period of time. Usually gel nail polishes stay on for about 2 to 3 weeks without chipping. After that, you should refill them to keep them intact.
You can get these nails at home or in a salon simply by applying two coats of this pinky-beige nail polish and sealing them with a matte or glossy top coat. A pro tip would be to choose the color that best suits your hands’ skin tone.
