Given my obsession with linen shirts — a non-negotiable summer wardrobe staple, in my humble opinion — it was only a matter of time before I fell for the linen nail trend, too. And just like the fabric, the manicure is all about that soft, understated, chic aesthetic.

Rather than the bright whites you often see on French tips, linen nails take their colour palette from the fabric itself: think creamy ivory, oat, beige and warm ecru. The result is a softer, more natural-looking manicure that isn’t overly pristine. For me, it’s essentially everything I love about linen, translated to my fingertips.
