Just as florals are perfect (if not groundbreaking) for spring, so is a milky nude manicure ideal for everyday wear. The perfect hue to accompany any outfit and ensure you look groomed and professional at all times, the milky nude is a favourite with celebrities for a reason: it’s clean and versatile.

Victoria Beckham just proved she’s a fan of the shade, while enjoying a (casual) night in Miami with designer Tom Ford and footballer Leo Messi. Paired with an all-black ensemble and natural, tousled hair, Beckham’s manicure felt minimal and chic, but still noticeable. Proving the look is as good for daily business as it is for a glitzy night out, she also wore the manicure in a recent Instagram video about her beauty brand’s new Satin Kajal Liner.
Other fans of a classic milky nude include Rosie Huntington-Whiteley – who wears the shade on immaculately-shaped nails – Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Campbell and Priyanka Chopra. Flattering to all skin tones, it’s like the no make-up make-up look of the nail world, and works as well in autumn as it does in summer. It’s a timeless classic.
If you’re not heading to the salon, there are myriad brilliant polishes to help you recreate the look at home. Essie’s Ballet Slippers is cult for a reason, while Dior’s Vernis in 108 Muguet also delivers a soft, polished finish. You’ll also love Rimmel’s Super Gel Nail Polish French Manicure 091 English Rose, which is less than £6.
