The Minimalist Manicure - The Phare Palette

From 'Rich Girl' neutrals to the unexpected hue of the season, these are the only shades and nail essentials on our radar.

Healthy nails start with care

Healthy, natural nails are very much having a moment. After years of gels, extensions and constant removal, more people are looking for a softer approach, one that keeps nails looking polished but also keeps them in good condition underneath.

Nail care is often treated as an afterthought, but it deserves the same attention we give to skincare. Over time, repeated stripping and harsh removers can leave nails feeling dry, weak or prone to peeling.


The good news is that looking after your nails doesn’t need to be complicated. A few simple care steps, paired with modern, wearable colour, can make a real difference.


This is our current manicure edit at Phare, with products that support nail health first, and still allow room for great shades and an easy finish.

Shop our favourite nail & cuticle oils

When nails feel dry or over-processed, the best place to begin is with treatments and oils. Regular cuticle care helps support nail strength and keeps nails looking healthier even without polish.

A final thought

Natural nails are in, but more importantly, nail health is in. A manicure doesn’t need to be harsh or high-maintenance to look good.With the right care products and a few great shades, it’s easy to keep nails looking polished while still prioritising their condition underneath.

This is the nail edit we’re reaching for right now, and we have you covered at Phare.
