The detail that makes the difference

Although at first glance they look the same, Dakota Johnson's crystal-effect manicure stands out from the classic one because of one specific detail: a nearly transparent finish with a subtle soft pink transition between the base of the nail and the white tips.

How to get it

If you want to join this summer's most natural and elegant trend, we'll tell you how to achieve the perfect crystal French manicure. All you need is a little patience, the right products, and step-by-step instructions.

1. To achieve the desired effect, it's essential to thoroughly clean your nails to remove any polish or grease residue. Trim, file, and shape your nails as desired . Lightly buff the surface to remove any unevenness and improve polish adhesion. And, very importantly, don't forget your cuticles. Gently push back with an orange stick and remove only the excess skin.

2. Before starting the polish, apply a thin base coat to protect and prepare the nail. Let it dry thoroughly. If it's a semi-permanent manicure, use an LED or UV lamp.

3. Now it's time for the real thing. To achieve Dakota Johnson's crystal French manicure, first apply a coat of milky pink nail polish and let it dry. Next, apply a coat of white polish to the tips of your nails.

4. Finally, apply a glossy, clear top coat to set the polish and enhance the crystal effect. You can customize your manicure with iridescent elements or designs featuring dried flowers, glitter, or crystals.
