Lychee Nails

TrendColorTexture

A milky white with a rosy undertone worn under a wet, jelly-like gloss, named after the pale flesh and faintly pink skin of the fruit. It differs from its neighbours by construction: the white sits beneath the pink rather than being mixed into it, and the top coat is high-shine, where soap nails stay soft and diffuse and milky nails stay flatly opaque.

Trend context

Key fact Cosmopolitan named lychee nails one of its eight August 2026 nail trends after Anne Hathaway debuted the shade in July 2026, with editors specifying one coat for a translucent hint and two to three coats for true lychee opacity.
