TikTok Has Declared ‘Digital Lavender’ Nails as the New Neutral

Ready for the latest celebrity mani update? Sofia Richie Grainge reintroduced this popular nail trend to her 3 million followers, and now we all can’t look away. Recently, she shared a TikTok video displaying her latest manicure, a departure from her usual “supermodel” color to a more daring choice: “digital lavender” nails. Her fingers were adorned with a gentle, light purple hue, achieved by first filing her natural nails into a short, square shape and tidying up the cuticles to create a flawless canvas for the color.

What is ‘Digital Lavender’?

This trend gained popularity in early 2023 when it was designated the “color of the year” by WSGN, a trend forecasting website. The light shade of violet expresses two sets of emotions and brings them into harmony with each other: cheerfulness and calmness.
