As the industry comes under scrutiny, it makes sense that we’re collectively leaning into natural nail trends. On TikTok, the hashtag #naturalnails has 2.5 billion views and counting, with manicure enthusiasts and nail artists making a case for nourished, bare nails. Bianca is especially passionate about taking it back to the “old school” way of caring for natural nails with oils and shine-enhancing buffers. Ashlee Piper, sustainability expert and author of Give A Sh*t: Do Good. Live Better. Save the Planet, also favors manicures and pedicures that spotlight the health and integrity of nails, rather than polish or extensions. “In France, for example, [there are] medical pedicures, which are more about sloughing, buffing, cleaning and trimming — with no polish,” she says.
