The Japanese Manicure Is The ‘Bare Nails But Better’ Trend For Spring 2026

Your nail pro will then brush on a mineral-based powder, which gives the nails a subtle shimmer and seals the nail bed with some of the aforementioned natural ingredients.

2. Your nails get a natural look

The Japanese manicure is perfect for anyone who prefers chic, understated nails over wild nail art. Thanks to the natural materials, your nails take on a slightly shiny, nude shade reminiscent of delicate rosé and highlights the colour of your own cuticles. This manicure works on all skin tones and matches almost any outfit.

3. It’s time-saving and uncomplicated

Forget long sessions in the nail salon and moments when you had to make an SOS appointment because of a broken nail. Thanks to the Japanese manicure, your natural nails are strengthened and given an extra boost of health thanks to the high-quality, natural ingredients.

4. The Japanese manicure is easy to maintain at home

Even though the Japanese manicure is best carried out by a professional in a nail salon, the subsequent handling and maintenance of the treatment is easy to implement at home without much effort.

Your nails will have a natural look after the manicure, which you can maintain by regularly applying cuticle cream and minimising contact with irritating ingredients or excessive hand washing.
