Clean Girl Aesthetic Nails: The Effortlessly Polished Manicure
TL;DR
The clean girl aesthetic nail is defined by sheer, natural looking enhancements that appear effortless yet perfectly polished. With Ambedo Beauty's BIAB (Builder in a Bottle) system and our Mauve 6 Pan Sheer Jelly Gel Palette and nude Solid Gel Capsules, achieving this look is beautifully simple. This guide walks you through the specific application techniques for both systems and shows you how to create signature clean girl manicures using our soft, minimalist colour range.
The Clean Girl Philosophy: Less is More
The clean girl aesthetic celebrates natural beauty, minimalism, and quiet luxury. For nails, this translates to healthy looking nails with soft, sheer colour, perfect shapes, and a flawless finish. It is about looking polished without appearing overly done. This aesthetic aligns perfectly with Ambedo Beauty's philosophy of enhancing your natural beauty with safe, high quality products.
Master the Application: Two Perfect Systems
How to Apply Ambedo BIAB
Our BIAB system is revolutionary: it combines base, builder, and colour in one bottle for a strong, natural looking manicure.
Prep & First Layer
After preparing your nails (push back cuticles, gently buff, cleanse with alcohol), apply a very thin layer of your chosen BIAB shade. This acts as a base layer. Do not cure yet.
Build & Shape
Immediately apply a thicker second layer of BIAB on top of the first wet layer. Use your brush to carefully manoeuvre and spread the product to cover the entire nail. The formula is self levelling and will smooth itself out. This layer provides structure and full colour.
Cure & Finish
Cure under an LED lamp for 60 seconds. Apply a thin layer of Ambedo Top Coat and cure for another 60 seconds. That is it: a strong, beautiful manicure in minimal steps.

How to Apply Ambedo Solid Gel Polishes
Our classic Solid Gel system offers incredible colour payoff and versatility, perfect for building custom opacity.
Prep & Base Coat
After nail preparation, apply a thin layer of Ambedo Vitamin E Base Coat. This nourishing base protects your natural nail. Cure for 60 seconds.
Apply Colour Layers
Apply your chosen Solid Gel colour in a thin, even layer. For a sheer, clean girl look, one layer may be enough. For more opacity, apply additional thin layers. Cure for 60 seconds between each layer. The more layers you apply, the more opaque the result.
Seal with Top Coat
Finish with a layer of Ambedo Top Coat and cure for 60 seconds to seal in colour and add a durable, glossy finish.

The Sheer Glass Nails
Effortlessly transparent and glossy
This look is all about mimicking healthy, naturally glossy nails with just a whisper of colour.
Using BIAB: Apply Cloudy Kiss or Milk Tea using the two layer method. The sheer white-pink tones will give a clean, brightened effect.
Using Solid Gels: Apply one sheer layer of Barely There from the Mauve Palette or Lace Solid Gel over your base coat. The result is a translucent wash that lets your natural nail show through slightly.
The Blushed Nude
A soft, your nails but better flush
A soft pink or mauve tint that looks like a natural, healthy flush on your nails.
Using BIAB: Apricot Drop or Honey Bloom provide a warm, peachy nude that looks natural on most skin tones.
Using Solid Gels: Build up two thin layers of Orchid Haze (for a mauve blush) or Fawn (for a peachy nude). The buildable formula lets you control the intensity perfectly.
The Structured Neutral
Polished, opaque, and perfectly clean
For a more polished look that still fits the aesthetic, choose a soft opaque neutral.
Using BIAB: Cashmere Veil or Vintage Rose offer beautiful opaque coverage in one application, giving a strong, smooth finish.
Using Solid Gels: Apply two to three layers of Mocha Mist or Biscotti for a fully opaque, sophisticated neutral manicure.
