We\u2019re in the midst of the winter-to-spring transition, and my feeds are dominated by nail trends all over the map. It seems March may be a bit of a free-for-all when it comes to seasonal manicures: some of us are holding tight to dark, moody looks like mulled-wine reds and espresso browns, while others are already leaning into pastel manicures or dainty floral nail art.<\/p>\n

With so many options, my nails are due for a full palette cleanse, and there\u2019s no better way to reset than with a subtle yet statement-making nude manicure. Whether clear, milky, sheer beige or creamy brown, a neutral manicure doesn\u2019t have to be boring\u2014we have the proof. Ahead, 13 nude nail ideas for a sleek spring reset.<\/p>\n

Invisible French<\/h2>\n

Every nail minimalist\u2019s dream, the invisible French manicure uses a neutral base and thin white lines to create negative space. Alexandra Teleki\u2018s modern take on the classic style is especially eye-catching.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Cashew Milk<\/h2>\n

UK nail artist Alyx Lippiatt created this ultra-creamy, ultra-shiny neutral manicure using Gelcare\u2019s Cashew Milk, a milky beige with a touch of peach that echoes the nutty tones of its namesake.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Active Blur<\/h2>\n

Love a velvety matte finish? Look no further than Manucurist\u2019s new Active Blur. It\u2019s a one-step, powder-pink polish that is a stunning manicure in its own right, but, bonus, it smooths and strengthens your nails, too.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Almond Ice Cream<\/h2>\n

You can\u2019t convince me OPI\u2019s Put It In Neutral doesn\u2019t look good on shapes and lengths of every kind. Exhibit two: this simple almond-shaped mani is perfection.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n

Ivory Silk<\/h2>\n

Decidedly ivory compared to the sheer pinks and beiges we typically see in nude manicures, this creamy, opaque look feels especially fitting for late winter and early spring.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n
