This Next-to-Nothing Nail Colour Is Set to Be the Most Popular Shade of 2021

Whether you’re still mastering your at-home mani or are finally able to venture back to the salon, there’s one nail colour that’s already dominating the rest in terms of popularity this year. Now, we know you might be thinking of classic red or even soft pink (Ballet Slippers by Essie has definitely reached icon status), but neither is as universally loved as beige nail colours. That’s right. Beige shades—from light tan to rich, near-brown hues—can be spotted on the fingers of more celebrities and fashion girls than any other. In the “less is more” beauty landscape of 2021, it’s set to become even more popular.

If this revelation is making your head spin, it’s probably because you think of beige as a boring shade. But as our most stylish pals have proven via gorgeous beige fashion looks, this neutral hue is a classic staple that always makes a statement. Not to mention, there are literally dozens of variations of it to fit any and every skin tone or finish preference.

Still sceptical? Challenge accepted. Ahead, check out 21 of our favourite beige nail colours to carry out your chicest manicure yet.

Shades of beige run the gamut from almost white to deeper hues reminiscent of the lightest variations of brown. Aside from adding a bit more impact than their much lighter counterparts, deep beige nail colours also serve as the perfect neutral tones for those with darker skin.

The name of this shade says it all.

If shimmery polish is more your speed, this one is simply stunning.

This is the perfect sheer beige.

If you tend to find beige too dull, you might be happy to hear that there are tons of hues for which it simply serves as the base colour. This means shades in the beige family can skew pink, green, blue, and more, making for much more lively colours fit for the more adventurous among us.

This beige hue has a touch of soft pink in it, and it’s so pretty.

 Khaki nails? Okay, yes.

The product description for this green-tinged neutral says it’s a “savoury beige.” Genius.

Nail polish is great if you’ve got a steady hand and the time to commit to a full-on paint job, but for those who want claws that look professionally manicured faster than you can say boo, then press-ons are the best bet. There are so many stylish options out there these days, too.

These were created by a festival-wear brand and prove that beige is anything but boring.

This go-to beige has a slightly pearlescent finish that’s so pretty.
