Smoke Nails
A wispy, smoke-like marble effect made by diffusing dark or colored gel into a neutral base.
Trend context
Key fact
Smoke nails = ink-in-water marble, usually on a milky base.
How to get the look
Smoke nails drift wispy, translucent swirls of pigment across a sheer base for a moody, smoky effect; use a thin brush or a drop of alcohol to feather the color so it reads like ink in water, then seal gloss.
How to wear
Smoke nails suit dark, indie, and evening looks with black and silver. They read moody for nights out; wear medium shapes over a milky base so the smoke swirls show clearly against the pale ground.
