Looking to elevate your go-to neutral manicure? Pretty pink polished nails have become Victoria Beckham's signature and the versatility of the subtle, minimalistic shade makes it an ideal style.
It seems like there's a new nail trend every week, from practical yet elegant short squoval nails to stunning spring manicures that incorporate tonnes of beautiful pastel colors. But throughout them all, in 2025 we've definitely been seeing a new focus on simple and fresh nail styles that lean on more neutral and muted shades that are super versatile, clean and understated.
Subtly glamorous, the prevailing styles highlight pretty pinks that are given a stunningly glossy finish with high-shine top coats to get a healthy-looking and natural feel. In line with this fresh, clean and natural look, the style has been named as 'soap nails' to reflect the freshly scrubbed and washed look.
It's part of a larger movement in the beauty space, mirroring the healthy hair movement and no makeup makeup trends that have been taking off in recent months. The new focus is on achieving a healthy look by caring for skin, hair and nails, rather than trying to fake it with product. And this is what the new pretty pink manicure is all about too - and now Victoria Beckham has made the chic, effortlessly elegant style her new signature, we're going to be seeing it everywhere.

Before you go in with any polish, you want to prep the nails with one of the best nail strengtheners or a base coat that's going to create a healthy-looking shine. This sheer wash of gloss may feel a little bit redundant as you're going to put a color polish over the top, but, as well as making your manicure last longer, it's also going to create a smooth base for your polish to glide over as it gives that fresh, shining finish to your nails.
If you already have healthy, pink-toned nail beds (lucky you!), then you might choose to skip adding a color polish and simply use a nail perfecting base coat and a high-gloss top coat to get Victoria's look. But, for a pretty pink look, swiping two thin layers of a pink nail polish on will create a subtle and glam look.
Lock everything in with a super glossy top coat and you're done! Remember to moisturise your nails and hands with the best hand creams and cuticle oil to keep your nails looking healthy, your skin feeling fresh and to help tackle dry knuckles so your nails can really shine.
