Prepping your nails is always the first important step. Clean and file them to your desired shape and then push back your cuticles. Coat your nails with a protective base coat. In case your nails have vertical ridges, go with a ridge-filling clear nail polish.
Since that milky sheen is the signature of every glazed donut manicure, finding the perfect base is key. If you already have a favorite neutral shade, whether it’s cream, beige, a soft peach-pink, or light chocolate, follow Who What Wear‘s suggestion and combine it with a sheer white polish to add a milky undertone. Apply two coats of this combination on your well-prepped nails.
