Now and again, a nail trend comes along that is so good, it convinces me to ditch my milky manicure altogether. I’m a neutral nail gal through and through, but occasionally I will switch things up, especially at the start of a new season. So, when I saw the “milky matcha” manicure on Instagram, I was instantly sold.
Stylish, creamy and cool, a milky matcha manicure feels like the perfect autumnal take on my usual milky mani. I first spotted this trend on expert nail artist Mateja Novakovic‘s account. The creamy green hue immediately caught my attention, as it looked soft and subtle whilst still incorporating one of this season’s biggest shades. Novakovic used Manucurist’s brand-new Milky Matcha nail polish to create this look, which I plan on adding to my basket ASAP.
Below, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite milky matcha nail looks, along with Manucurist’s polish (and more milky matcha shades), so you can recreate the look at home. You are welcome…

The perfect shade to recreate this trend.
You can’t go wrong with a bit of OPI. The Infinite Shine range has a super glossy finish, too.
You might not know this, but & Other Stories has the chicest range of nail polish colours.
