Blueberry milk nails are having a major moment on TikTok. And if our queens Sabrina Carpenter and Zendaya are into blueberry milk, then we are, too. Whether you want to DIY or head to the salon, this fruity, on-trend look is super easy to do. 

This mani is essentially a combo of a pastel blue over a white base or topped off with a pearly chrome for that dreamy, milky look. If you're going to the salon, ask your nail tech for a light baby blue gel with a pearl chrome. If you're a DIY girlie, we found some inspo for you.

To get the look... 

1. Find your fave blueberry milk shade. We heart Blue Island by DND Gel. 

2. Apply a gel base coat and let it set for 30 seconds under your LED lamp 

3. Apply one to two coats of your colored gel polish and place under the LED lamp for 30-45 seconds in between each coat.

4. To get the milky look, apply a pearl chrome like Neonail's Pearl Effect No. 1. You'll want to gently press the powder into your nail. 

5. Finish with a top coat and cure for 30-45 seconds

If you're not a gel mani bb, we love Essie's nail polish in Bikini So Teeny or OPI's polish in To Be Continued.
