We\u2019re sorry to see you go, but there\u2019s a new kid in town. The no-manicure manicure is here and it\u2019s about to be <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> big.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I came to this realization while I was walking around the office last week. I noticed every super chic girl had bare nails. They were buffed and shaped, of course, but there was no polish in sight. Not even red. On the street I saw the same thing. Every stylish woman was rocking an invisible manicure. I knew I had to give it a go immediately. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead of hued polish, I\u2019m gravitating towards nail perfectors, hydrating base coats and barely-there shades that leave a subtle shimmer in a single swipe. Finally, our nail routines are catching up to our skincare and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/shesintheglow.com\/the-only-makeup-look-you-need-to-know-for-spring\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">makeup regimens<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what you need to know to join the new minimalist mani wave: \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. No more covering up.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To pull off a no-manicure, you\u2019ve got to take care of your real nails. There\u2019s no shellac, fillers or opaque polishes here\u2026 what\u2019s underneath is where the beauty begins. To get long, strong and smooth nails, add these steps to your beauty line-up:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Buffing cream or scrub <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8212; This is basically a facial for your nails. The idea is to scrub away the residue from harmful polishes from your nail beds and cuticles. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/shop-links.co\/1603207425915409522\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reverence<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">de Bastien<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a really<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0great option, but in a pinch,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/shop-links.co\/1603205387178420140\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aesop&#8217;s Geranium Leaf Body Scrub<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0will also do the trick.

Swap your clippers for a file that will keep you shaped up. <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/shop-links.co\/1603207178925187887\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reverence de Bastien<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> makes a glass nail file and case that\u2019s perfect for keeping in your tote at all times. The glass here is key &#8212; it\u2019s gentler than the usual sandpaper-esque files from the drugstore, which will prevent your nails from splitting. It\u2019s also got a slightly pointed tip, which will come in handy if you spot a little dirt under your nails.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"__bmbx__1603207205666624398\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n(function (widgetId) {\n\ttry {\n\t\tvar b = document.createElement(\"script\");\n\t\tb.type = \"text\/javascript\";\n\t\tb.src = \"\/\/static.bam-x.com\/bam_box\/\" + widgetId + \"\/bamBox.\" + widgetId + \".js\";\n\t\tb.async = true;\n\t\tvar a = document.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];\n\t\ta.parentNode.insertBefore(b, a);\n\t} catch (e) {}\n}(\"1603207205666624398\"));\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">P.S.
