Milky, Minimal, and a Little Obsessed: My 5-Hour At-Home Nail Routine
Milky, Minimal, and a Little Obsessed: My 5-Hour At-Home Nail Routine

Let’s talk about nails — because doing my own has become my favorite form of slow, cozy therapy.

And before anyone asks… yes, I actually sit for 5 hours every time 😭

But honestly? The result is worth every minute.

Milky, Minimal, and a Little Obsessed: My 5-Hour At-Home Nail Routine

I’m obsessed with clean, minimal, glossy nails — that soft milky shade that looks fresh, natural, and expensive.

It’s that quiet luxury nail vibe I’ll never get tired of 🤍

🪄 My 5-Hour At-Home Nail Routine

Here’s what I do step by step to get that clean salon look:

1. Remove the old nails

2. Shape the nail (I love a soft almond or clean square)

3. Prep the nail & clean the cuticle

4. Build strength with builder gel

5. Apply milky shade — thin layers for that glass effect 🤍

6. Top coat for ultra-gloss

7. Final magic step: gently file with the drill around the cuticle to seal everything and avoid lifting

And just like that — the magic is done.

Is it long? Yes.

Am I dramatic about it? Also yes.

Is it worth it every time? Absolutely.
