Nail techs and salon owners say women are opting for minimal nails because they're effortlessly chic and pair with everything. 'One can go all out with nails, and clients often say they don't like the final result when they experiment with something new. But most clients love the soap and milk nails for their clean, soft finish,' says nail technician Harshita Sharma.
What exactly are soap and milk nails?
Soap nails mimic the look of lathered soap bubbles, as if you've just stepped out of a bath. Milk nails, on the other hand, feature a milky, semi-sheer white finish, often serving as the perfect base for minimalist nail art.

In a chat with InStyle, the producer shared how he hopes to have picked up some tricks to keep his woman happy, and we think he's very well on the right path to success.

The 37-year-old spoke about many amazing 10 on 10 women being single, yet there are so many boys looking for girlfriends. At the same time, he advised them, "Don't settle, ladies. Not for some dude that uses more hair gel than you do." That's an adorable thought, Mr. Blanco. We support you! Selena Gomez seems to have met the right man, however, as he continued to talk about their love story. He added how he hopes there were some good lessons he learned along the way, "I'm 37 years old. I hope I know how to treat a woman by now!", and we have no doubt about it. Who has helped Benny Blanco along the way? The American record producer and songwriter is not letting his experiences with his friends go to waste. Benny Blanco is putting them into action, 'But some things [I] learn from friends of mine. I see them do something stupid, and I'm like, 'Oh my God, I'll never do that in a relationship.'" It's not all bad, however, as the good ideas also stem from his pals, "Then sometimes you see your friend do something rad, and you're like, 'Ooh, I'm taking that little idea.' You stop learning when you stop listening.' invitation to Ed Sheeran.

British Netflix hit Adolescence to be shown in French schools: minister
British Netflix drama "Adolescence" -- which has sparked widespread debate about the toxic and misogynistic influences to which young boys are exposed online, can now be shown in French secondary schools -- a minister has said. the initiative follows a precedent set in the UK. The producer of the series broadcast on Netflix has "opened up the rights to us" and the French education ministry will "offer five educational sequences to young people based on this series", Education Minister Elisabeth Borne told LCI TV late on Sunday. These excerpts from the mini-series are "very representative of the violence that can exist among young people", Borne said. She added that they would be shown in secondary schools to children from the age of around 14 onwards. Such materials are intended to help raise awareness of the problem of "overexposure to screens and the trivialisation of violence on social networks", as well as the spread of so-called masculinist theories -- misogynistic spheres which advocate violence against women, said Borne. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the move to screen the show -- in which a 13-year-old boy stabs a girl to death after being radicalised on the internet -- "an important initiative" which would help start conversations about the content teenagers consume online. "Adolescence", which was released on March 13, follows the aftermath of the schoolgirl's fatal stabbing, revealing the dangerous influences to which boys are subjected online and the secret meaning youngsters are giving to seemingly innocent emojis. The series has resonated with an audience increasingly disturbed by a litany of shocking knife crimes committed by young people and the misogynistic rhetoric of influencers like Andrew Tate. As of June 1, "Adolescence" reached a total of 141.2 million views, making it Netflix's second most watched English-language series ever, according to industry magazine Variety.
