When it comes to beauty trends, Dakota Johnson always surprises us. Whether on the red carpet or in a relaxed street style look, the actress proves that elegance is sometimes in the detail. And it was precisely this detail that caught our eye at the premiere of her new film Splitsville in Los Angeles on August 18—instead of eye-catching nail art or bright colors, Johnson opted for a manicure that is as subtle as it is sophisticated: BB Cream Nails.
At the film premiere, Johnson complemented her elegant metallic Gucci look with the minimalist manicure. Her nails looked well-groomed, natural, and had a soft glow that immediately reminded us of the dewy, glowy finish achieved by a BB cream for your face.

Just like the creams of the same name, which act as a mix of moisturizer, primer, and light foundation on the face, the BB Cream Nails create a gentle “your nails, but better” effect. This means: no bright colors, no glitter, but a hint of tint that evens out the nail, conceals small imperfections, and gives it a healthy shine at the same time.
So why do all minimalists swear by this manicure trend now? It’s simple: BB Cream Nails are the beauty equivalent of the no-makeup look. They make your hands look well-groomed and sophisticated in no time at all, without making them look overloaded. This manicure is the perfect go-to for anyone who likes a clean, minimalist yet modern look.
Another plus point: the manicure is extremely suitable for everyday use and goes with any outfit—whether it’s a glamorous red carpet dress à la Dakota Johnson or a classic jeans and T-shirt look (Dakota Johnson’s off-duty uniform). Listen, it’s hard to hate a trend that can do it all!
