"Blueberry Milk" Nails may be having a moment this summer, but for the girlies that still prefer a more demure approach to their manicure, "Fresh Créme" nails might be your saving grace.

What are "Fresh Crème" nails?

Steeped in the milky nail family, this specific manicure is all about the creamy, yellowish/cream tone reminiscent of cake/pastry batter. Essie and OPI nail polishes are notorious for these off-pink bottle shades that look pink before application but finish with either a soft, decadent pearlized color after a few coats, depending on your undertone.

How To Do "Fresh Crème" Nails?

To ace the look successfully, you want to make sure the base of your nails is smooth and buffed to perfection. Next, you want to choose milky, creamy nail polishes that don't lean too pinky or yellowish when applied to the actual nail. (It also helps to have your manicurist do a nail swatch test beforehand.)

From there, you'll be able to get into the "Fresh Créme" manicure trend. For more inspiration, we've included a few examples ahead.
