Looking for minimalist fall nails with a little more oomph than milk bath for manicure which dominated the nail trends of 2025? Add a (small) shot of espresso, like Hailee Steinfeld.
October 16, Tom Bacik presented his latest look at nude nail trendrevealing 28 year old newlywed fresh “Skim milk, almond, latte mani” on Instagram. Just like blueberry milk, milky roseAnd matcha latte nails which came before it, the name comes from the shade used to achieve the look. In this case, Bachik chose a varnish reminiscent of creamy latte with a healthy dose of almond milk, not to be confused with deeper shades of brown like mocha mousse or straight espresso.
The beauty of this nude manicure is its versatility: it goes well with any outfit without feeling as subtle as barely noticeable manicure what celebrities preferred last summer. And yet, it's as minimalistic as it can be, without going for a completely transparent look and avoiding the iridescent finish that creates toasted effect it was so popular this fall.
And while the color itself is a blend of almond milk and espresso, Steinfeld also chose an elegant, mid-length almond shape, adding a second meaning to the moniker.
